“I have a Will, so my family won’t have to go through probate.”

This is one of the most common estate planning misconceptions we hear.

A Will does not avoid probate. In fact, a Will is the document that guides the probate process by telling the court who should receive your assets.

If avoiding probate is one of your goals, additional planning may be needed, such as beneficiary designations, joint ownership arrangements, or a properly funded trust.

Every family’s situation is different, which is why it’s important to understand how your assets will actually transfer when you’re gone.

Some interesting statistics regarding caring for our loved ones. If we can be of help, please reach out.

In many American families, the burden of family caregiving lands disproportionately on women, geography often governs who helps, and expectations about fairness are often more idealistic than realistic.

Reducing the risk of developing dementia and identifying risk early can prove essential for older adults. A growing body of research links dementia to loneliness, depression, insomnia, and even food insecurity.
