I Should Have Known Better

A week or so ago, I sought out a way to put together a power of attorney so my wife could sign an auto title for me if we sold the vehicle on her trip to North Dakota. (My name and our youngest son's name are on the title in an OR situation).

Because we live in the Internet age, I figured there'd be a way to put together such a document without too much fuss.

I found a website called Rocket Lawyer, and figured, eh, I'll give them a shot.

They walked me through the process to put together a power of attorney, making me answer questions that really didn't apply all that much to our situation, but what the heck, if it works, it works.

It didn't work.

I should have known at the end that I would have to sign up for a "free" trial of their other services, which I could of course cancel as necessary. I had to sign up to the trial to get my document, however. So I bailed.

I ended up taking care of the title another way, without the risk of forgetting about the "free" trial and ending up getting charged for something. Or, worse yet, having Rocket Laywer lose my information in a data breach and end up with me having to first cancel unauthorized charges and then cancelling the card in the bargain.

But they have my email address, of course, and keep reminding me about my document. And their other services. I need to remember to unsubscribe . . . (this is why I didn't sign up for the "free" trial, yanno.)
