Everyone hates lawyers until the one time they really, really need one.

We've seen business partnerships settle real disagreements with an actual game of rock, paper, scissors. Not a joke.

One page that spells out what happens when you're deadlocked costs you one slightly awkward conversation now. Skipping it costs you a business later.

Got a business partner? When's the last time you talked about what happens if you two disagree on something big?

I built a law firm on being the person people trust with the stuff they're scared to talk about.

Here's what that actually looks like:

The business partner they haven't told they want out.

The kid from a first marriage nobody's planned for.

The sibling who'll fight over mom's house the second she's gone.

The "we'll figure out the paperwork later" that's now three years later.

None of it makes you a bad person. It makes you human. Our job is just to make it easy to say out loud.

What's the one you've been sitting on?

10/13/2026

I've sat across from too many families finding this out the hard way, so here's what I actually do for my own kids.

1. I name a guardian in writing. If something happens to both parents and there's nothing on paper, a judge who's never met your kids makes that call. I'm not leaving that to chance.

2. I name a backup guardian too. Life doesn't hand you a plan B, you have to write one yourself.

3. I update beneficiary designations after every big change. A divorce, a new baby, a death in the family, that paperwork doesn't update itself. It just sits there until someone catches it, usually too late.

4. I don't treat "my parents will just take them" as a plan. It's a hope, and hopes don't hold up in court.

5. I make sure my family knows where our documents actually are. A plan nobody can find in a crisis isn't a plan.

6. I review everything after a move, a new kid, or any major life change. Old paperwork can cause as much damage as none at all.

7. I don't assume a will covers everything. Once there's a house, a business, or more than one kid involved, it's worth a real conversation about what else needs to be in place.

8. I have the hard conversation with my spouse about what happens if we're both gone. The families who struggle most are the ones who put that conversation off.

9. I keep it simple when it comes to my kids. They don't need the details. They need to know we thought about it.

10. I don't let "we did it once" be the plan forever. I've sat across from too many families whose five-year-old paperwork no longer matched their life.

It doesn't take much to fix any of this. It just takes doing it before you need it.

What's the one you've been putting off?

Same accident. Same kind of family. Completely different year.

One parent did the paperwork. One didn't. Everything else follows from there.

The afternoon you spend with a lawyer now is the year your kids don't spend in a courtroom later.

10/10/2026

4 things you didn't know you needed to protect your family. (From a lawyer.)

1. A guardian nomination for your kids. No will means a judge picks who raises them, not you.

2. Someone with authority to make medical decisions if you can't. Marriage doesn't cover that automatically in every situation.

3. Clear instructions for the house, the accounts, the stuff. Skip this and Kansas law decides, and it rarely matches what people actually want.

4. A named person to handle bills and paperwork while everything else gets sorted.

Once it's written down, none of this is complicated. It's only expensive and slow when it isn't.

Nobody asked, but we're not gatekeeping this one. Here's what actually happens if you die without a will in Kansas.

Spoiler: the state already wrote a will for you. You just might hate it.

Which one surprised you most?
