Happy Dolly Day! đź’ś

Today we’re celebrating an icon whose legacy reaches far beyond her music. Dolly showed us that what we leave behind isn’t just what we have - it’s the lives we touch, the people we love, and the good we put into the world.

We talk about “legacy” a lot around here, and hers is certainly one worth celebrating.

Happy Dolly Day! ✨

Celebrating my dad today and missing him a little extra. 🤍

There are so many things I wish I could still call you about, so many moments I wish you were here for, and so many times I find myself thinking about what you would say.

I’m forever grateful for the love, lessons, and memories you gave me. So much of who you were still lives on in our family every day.

Love and miss you always, Dad. ❤️

Michael Jackson’s estate is a reminder that signing your estate plan isn’t the finish line.

A good estate planning attorney should help you understand the importance of funding your trust, keeping your assets coordinated with your plan, and reviewing it as your life changes.}

Estate planning isn’t “set it and forget it.” Your plan needs attention beyond signing day to keep working the way you intended.

Columbia, thank you for showing up for us! 🤍

Being recognized in Free Times’ Best of Columbia 2026 is incredibly meaningful to me, not simply because of the recognition itself, but because it came from the community I get to serve every day.

Columbia, you did this. 🤍

Being voted Best Estate Planning Attorney means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me, every person who has shared my name with a friend, and everyone who took the time to vote. Getting to do work I love, for families I care about, in a community I call home is something I never take for granted.

Thank you, Columbia. Truly.

Most parents think naming guardians in their will is enough. It’s not.

It’s an important first step - but it doesn’t answer every question.

If something happened to you, whether temporarily or permanently, who could legally step in to care for your children right away?

That’s why we talk with every parent about a Kids CARE Plan.

Comment “KIDS” and we’ll send you our free guide.🤍
