If you have ever made a large purchase with a boyfriend or girlfriend, you probably know what a nightmare it can turn out to be. It is an even bigger hassle if the big purchase is a house and the other party doesn’t contribute to the payments after the breakup. If you would like to […]

Recently, I was contacted by two insurance agents regarding life insurance. Both insurance agents had similar questions regarding life insurance and divorce. First, they wanted to know whether courts require child support obligors to obtain and hold life insurance policies for the benefit of the children, in the event that the obligor passes away. Basically, the […]

Like most american families, I have close family members that have served in the military. Specifically, my grandfather served in the Army when he was in his 20s.

I have never met a law student that left law school thinking, “I want to be a probate attorney!” It just doesn’t happen. Mainly because many other practice areas catch our eye before we even get to that subject in school but also because it just isn’t a “sexy” subject. I got pulled into probate […]

Perhaps the best gift you can get your mother (and yourself) for Mother’s Day is an estate plan. I tell my clients that it is their responsibility to make sure that their parents have estate plans.

I was never much of a prankster on April Fool’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a practical joke as much as the next person. Its just that April first sneaks up on me so quickly, and good practical jokes come in one of two ways: they are either carefully planned out to perfection, or they just […]
