Did you know?

A trust you sign but never fund still goes through probate.

Signing and funding are two completely different steps. Most families only do one.

In case you missed it:

The beneficiary designation form you filled out at your first job can override the will you just made.

It doesn't matter what your will says. The form wins. Every time.

Your checklist for what to do after making a will is in the link below.

Meet Bailey Penzotti, Esq., a California family law attorney with more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate consequential family transitions.

Bailey brings the perspective of both a seasoned litigator and experienced mediator. Her work spans divorce, legal separation, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, premarital and postmarital agreements, and complex financial matters involving high-net-worth estates, inheritances, stock options, and intellectual property.

Her experience also includes the partially published appellate matter In re Marriage of Rifkin & Carty. She was selected to Super Lawyers from 2020 through 2023.

What distinguishes Bailey is judgment. Some matters require decisive courtroom advocacy. Others are better served through negotiation or mediation. Bailey evaluates that difference while keeping the client’s goals, resources, and legal posture at the center of the strategy.

Outside the practice of law, Bailey is a five-time marathoner. The endurance fits. She brings preparation, steadiness, and staying power to complicated work.

Through offices in Beverly Hills and Sacramento, Baron Family Law represents clients in California family law matters statewide.

The attorney who hands you documents and disappears is not the same as one who stays in it with you.

The relationship IS the plan.

Q: "I just made a will. Am I actually done?"

Not quite.

A will doesn't touch your beneficiary designations. Those override your will completely. It doesn't fund your trust if one was created. It doesn't cover incapacity. And it doesn't update itself when your life changes.

You made a will this August.

That's step one.

Here's what most families don't realize until it's too late: making a will and protecting your family are not the same thing.

This week's article is your checklist for what actually comes next.

A life insurance policy that lapses sends no notification to the beneficiary.

The first time most families find out is when they file a claim and discover the policy is gone.
The policy existed. It just wasn't maintained.

In Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner's case, the policy was never purchased at all.

A nine-year-old. Her father died tragically in a drowning accident on a family vacation. No one legally authorized to make decisions for her in the first 72 hours.

Not because no one loved her. Because love doesn't give you legal authority.

Even if every financial commitment in Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner's premarital agreement had been fulfilled, this question was still unanswered.

This week's article covers what most families never think about until it's too late.

Having a plan isn't the same as having a plan that works.

A prenup gets signed. The life insurance was supposed to be purchased. The retirement account was supposed to be funded. Most families have no one whose job it is to verify that any of it happened.

A Personal Family Lawyer® firm's job starts where the signing ends.

Q: "We have a prenup. We're good, right?"

A prenup is the promise. What protects your family is whether the commitments in it were actually carried out, and having someone whose job it is to verify that, every year.

Most families never have anyone check. That's the gap.

This week's article uses the case of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, to show exactly what that gap looks like, and what should have happened instead.
