Legal Confusion

Confusion crept in as heavy volumes around them. I said, “It’s too much,” as I massaged my temples. Legalese felt like nonsense, even with internet guidance. Jake nodded and added sticky notes to the appropriate parts. “We’re out of our depth, man,” he said. He was correct, I thought to myself, “Maybe it’s time for pro advice.” We had to be quicker and wiser if this was Tom’s plan to ensure my inheritance. We needed a visit from someone who knew the law well.

Hope simmered inside me, knowing that I had prepared myself for the impending tempest.
