🧐 The Fine Print with David Kincaid: Home Businesses

It’s a common dream: skip the commute, slash your overhead, and launch an empire from the spare bedroom. But is starting a business from home really as simple as clearing off a desk?

The short answer: It’s more complicated than you might think. In Washington, local zoning laws often come with a "fine print" of stringent requirements:

🚫 Prohibition of certain industries: Some business types (like auto repair or heavy manufacturing) aren't allowed in residential zones at all.
📏 Limit of space: Restricting your business to a small fraction of your home's total square footage.
🤫 Monitor your "footprint": Placing strict limits on noise, odors, and even the type of equipment you can use.
🚗 Control your clientele: Regulating how many clients can visit per day and whether you’re allowed to hang a sign.

Before you invest in equipment or inventory, make sure your business plan aligns with your local County Code or city ordinances.

Is your “e-state” as protected as your real estate? 📱💻

In 2026, your legacy isn’t just about your home, investments, or physical property. It’s also about your digital footprint:

✅ Social media profiles & email accounts
✅ Cryptocurrency & digital wallets
✅ Thousands of photos stored in the cloud

Here’s the fine print: Without proper planning, your loved ones might be locked out of these accounts forever. Or, worse, they might stumble upon private accounts or data you’d rather stay confidential (yes, even that secret OnlyFans). 🤐

Don’t leave your digital legacy to chance. Under State and Federal law, you can officially plan for the distribution—or the permanent, confidential deletion—of your digital assets.

At Kincaid Law PLLC, I help you ensure your digital life is handled exactly the way you want it.

Here's The Fine Print with David Kincaid:

Wills vs. Trusts in Washington

There’s a common misconception that you generally want to avoid probate by creating a trust. Remember, wills and trusts are merely tools that serve a distinct purpose. The right structure depends on the size and nature of your estate, your family circumstances, and what you want your plan to accomplish.

A will is a simple and effective estate planning document that allows you to decide who receives your assets and who will serve as guardian for your minor children. In most cases, a will must be administered through probate, which is a court-supervised process and part of the public record.

A trust functions differently. When properly funded, a trust can help maintain privacy, provide a level of protection from certain creditors, and allow for seamless management of your assets if you become incapacitated. Trusts are often useful for individuals with complex familial relationships, medical conditions or medicaid, multiple properties, or business interests that require ongoing oversight. However, setting up a trust can be expensive.

If you want to ensure your estate plan is properly designed, contact Kincaid Law PLLC to schedule a consultation. A thoughtful plan today can provide clarity and protection for the future.
