Divorce changes more than your relationship—it can affect who gets protection, who manages your assets, and how your family is cared for after you’re gone. If your estate plan still reflects your former spouse, it may be time to update key documents like your will, trusts, beneficiaries, and guardianship choices. At Kata Law, Attorney Andy Kata helps you sort through the details calmly and methodically, so your plan matches your current life and protects the people who matter most. Planning after divorce is an act of care, not another burden to carry alone.

A clear estate plan prevents unnecessary hardship and gives your loved ones guidance, comfort, and peace of mind. If you want to make things smoother for your family in the future, getting your plan in place now is one of the kindest gifts you can give.

A question we hear often is, “Does my will control all of my property?” The short answer is no. Your will only covers assets that pass through probate, and plenty of things bypass that entirely—like accounts with beneficiary designations and life insurance. That’s why having a full estate plan matters. It makes sure every asset is accounted for and directed exactly where you want it to go. If you’re not sure what your will actually controls, we can help you sort it out and fill in the gaps. Give us a call to schedule your initial consultation today.

Happy National Dog Day to all the pups who make life a little brighter! If your dog feels like part of the family, make sure they’re actually included in your estate plan. Too many people assume loved ones will automatically step in, but without clear instructions, your fur baby could end up in a stressful situation. By naming a pet caregiver and setting aside resources for their care, you’re giving your dog the same security and love they give you every day. If you’re not sure where to start, we can help you build a plan that protects every member of your family—four-legged ones included.
