Good afternoon all. We just wanted to share this bit of advice we found to be quite interesting with you:

Is your home in a Trust? If so, contact your insurance agent and confirm if your Trust is an additional insured on your insurance policy. This tip came from LA fire victims having trouble with claims due to their Trust not being included on their policies.

Our Agents have worked with many clients over the years who believe they have a Trust and all is in order when it is not. Additional steps need to be attended to and many were surprised to find out their Trust Attorney or Planner did not advise them of such steps.

If you do not have a Trust but do have assets, speak with someone about the benefits of having a Trust vs having to deal with Probate.

If you do have a Trust, make sure your assets, home or otherwise IS not just referenced in the Trust but documents are properly filed/recorded ALSO to protect those assets.

If you have any points of advice to share, please comment and do so below.

Thank you.

Our heart goes out to all who are impacted by the ongoing fires in Southern California. We have reached out to many just to see how they are doing, physically and mentally, and various conversations have been heartbreaking. It is not easy to be prepared for all of the various life events which take place. There are many recommendations through websites and videos available. One in particular which stands out is https://www.ready.gov/ through the Department of Homeland Security. It address a variety of emergencies and provides helpful information in my opinion. We wanted to pass this thought along and hope it is helpful for you, your loved ones, family members and friends.

If you have other resources to recommend, please post them below.

Stay safe everyone!
