Subletting is common during the graduation and relocation seasons, since existing tenants often sign yearlong leases but must move out before their leases end. This can make subleasing an attractive option for new graduates, but there are some key legal considerations to be aware of before taking the plunge.

🔹Subletting is not always automatically permitted by every lease. Many leases require written landlord approval before a tenant can sublet. It is best practice to verify that subleasing is permitted before signing any documents.

🔹Even when subletting is allowed, the original tenant often remains legally responsible for rent and potential damages caused by the subtenant, creating tricky legal situations.

If you have questions about a subleasing agreement or another renting concern, give us a call. We are here to help make sure your rights and interests are protected.

May is Older Americans Month, and to honor the month, I wanted to take a moment to share a few key areas where our team can help to ensure your estate plan meets your needs as you and your family get older.

📋 Living trusts help ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes while potentially avoiding probate. Unlike a will, a trust can take effect during your lifetime and allow for seamless asset management if you become incapacitated.

📋 Powers of attorney authorize trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so yourself, preventing delays, confusion, or court intervention. You can designate different powers of attorney for different concerns — such as health care or financial matters.

📋 Advance health care directives allow you to outline medical treatment preferences and appoint a health care agent to advocate for those wishes if you become incapacitated. These documents work with a health care power of attorney, and it's crucial to ensure they align.

Having these documents in place brings clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. If you have questions about your estate plan or would like to discuss these documents, feel free to reach out.

Summer is around the corner, and if you are co-parenting, now is the time to get ahead of seasonal schedule changes. A little early planning can go a long way in preventing stress and setting your child up for success.

Here are a few legal reminders to keep in mind:

✅Review your custody agreement - Look for summer-specific guidelines like vacation request deadlines or travel restrictions.
✅Communicate early and in writing - Whether you are discussing trips, camps, or child care, written communication helps avoid misunderstandings.
✅Check notice requirements - Many agreements require advance notice for schedule changes or travel.
✅Plan transitions - Talk about transportation, medical needs, and how you will stay in contact with your co-parent.
✅Confirm travel rules - Traveling out of state or abroad? You might need written consent or court approval.
✅Document all changes - If you adjust the schedule, make sure it is in writing.

Have questions about your parenting plan or thinking about making changes before summer begins? Give us a call. We are here to help.
