Quick quiz: who gets your dog?

Not the vet bills. Not the fenced yard. Who actually gets the dog who sleeps on your side of the bed?

If it’s not written down, you don’t get to decide. Florida’s default rules decide, and they weren’t written with your dog in mind.

A simple will can fix that. Our Basic Will Package is for homeowners, parents, and dog people who keep meaning to do it. Details in the comments.

October is Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month, so tell me: what’s your dog’s name, and who’s on the list to take them?

Friends in the Panhandle: Hurricane Isaias is a strong Category 3 and heading your way. Please take it seriously. 🧡

If you're in its path, prepare now and evacuate if local officials tell you to. Fill the gas tank, grab your meds and IDs, and put your important papers (insurance, deeds, wills) in a waterproof bag. Follow your county emergency management and the National Hurricane Center for the latest.

Stuff can be replaced. You can't. Stay safe out there.

This is one of my most popular blogs because a good estate plan isn’t really about your things; it’s about making things easier for the people you love. If it’s been a while since you reviewed your plan, or you’ve never put one in place, consider this your sign to start.

Your child just turned 18. Congratulations! Here's what nobody tells you: in the eyes of the healthcare system, your child is now a legal adult. If something happens, hospitals can't share medical updates with you unless you have the right documents in place.

The fix is a healthcare surrogate designation plus a HIPAA authorization. In Florida it takes just two witnesses, it's inexpensive, and it's one of the quickest items on any parent's to-do list.

WPTV shared one family's story so other parents don't learn this the hard way. 👇

I think you should start your estate planning in your 20s or 30s. Yes, really.

Got a checking account? A car? A dog who has you wrapped around her paw? Then you have an estate. And if you don't write down what you want, Florida has a plan for you that wasn't written with you in mind.

Our Basic Will Package keeps it simple. Details in the comments.

So tell me: if something happened tomorrow, who's taking the dog?

Did you know estate laws can change from one state to another? Your inheritance, health care directives, and powers of attorney might not hold up if your documents don’t match the laws where you live. Make sure your wishes are protected—no matter where life takes you.

Millions of American move to a different state each year but don't update their estate planning documents. That's a mistake, experts say. Here's why.

Do I need a will or a trust?

It’s one of the most common estate planning questions—and the answer depends on much more than choosing one document over another.

In my latest blog, I break down the differences between wills and trusts, how probate works in Florida, and why things like beneficiary designations, homestead, and incapacity planning all matter.

If you’ve been wondering whether your estate plan still fits your life, this is a good place to start.

A client left us a five-star review, and I want to say thank you.

Nobody's excited to meet with an estate planning attorney. So when someone walks out feeling good enough to tell others, that's the whole goal.

To everyone who's ever left a review or told a neighbor, "Call Heidi": thank you.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

We remember the lives lost, honor the courage of the first responders and everyday heroes who stepped forward, and hold in our thoughts the families whose lives were forever changed.

May we never forget the strength, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed.
