- Child Support
- Child Custody and VisitationWhether you are faced with an upcoming divorce, separation, or issues involving a past divorce or separation, the well-being of your child/children is your top priority. Often times parents/guardians are faced with having to discuss a fair child custody schedule during times of deepest emotional distance. In the event that divorcing/separating couples cannot agree on their own to a schedule rationally with the child’s best interest, it it necessary for a family law attorney to step in.
- Adoption
- Premarital Agreement4. There are any number of changes that might occur in one’s life. Personal circumstances, which affect decisions about the transfer of wealth to intended heirs, such as a marriage or divorce, a change in net worth, the birth, adoption or marriage of a child, the aging of one’s parents, the development of a disability or special needs, the possibility of long-term-care, can change an estate plan significantly. What might have seemed reasonable and prudent when a will was first drafted may very well be less so as these or other life changes occur. Contractual obligations might also arise, such as a prenuptial agreement, separation agreement or a stockholders agreement, which should (or must be) incorporated into an estate plan. A change of state residency is another reason to consider will changes since each state has its own estate planning laws. Updating the will helps to avoid the potential personal and legal problems arising from an outdated plan.
- GuardianshipIt’s vital to keep a will up-to-date, but it’s important to remember that the will should not stand in isolation, but should be part of a comprehensive estate plan. A revocable trust is frequently a crucial complement, for inheritance, tax and probate avoidance planning purposes. Advance directives, such as durable powers of attorney for property and health care and a HIPAA authorization, can be invaluable to implement planning goals during a person’s lifetime and to avoid a court’s involvement via a guardianship and/or conservatorship. Still, more planning structures and document options are available, depending on the level of wealth and estate complexity. Yet, no matter the scope of one’s planning, regular reviews and adjustments are a must.

- Estate PlanningEstate planning is not just for the wealthy, passing money on to their heirs, or those who are acutely ill or elderly, contemplating their death. Estate planning is for any individual with someone in their life they care about. It is ‘life planning’, not ‘death planning’. Estate planning is taking responsibility for your assets, wishes, and the well being of those individuals after you’re gone. It’s planting a tree to give shade to those you care about.
- WillsProbate is the legal process through which the estate of an individual who has passed is distributed, according to the last will and testament, if there is one, and designated beneficiaries and any debt owed to creditors is paid off.
