An estate plan is supposed to make things easier for your loved ones. But what happens when it ends up making things more complicated?

This week, we asked our attorneys to finish the sentence: “One thing that can make administering an estate or trust much harder than it needs to be is…”

From avoidable headaches to unexpected complications, our attorneys have seen firsthand how certain decisions (or oversights!) can make an already difficult process even harder.

From suspicious bank withdrawals to unexpected changes in estate planning documents, knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

Trust and estate disputes can get complicated, especially when emotions run high!

Our own Bryan K. Johnson, who serves as Chair of the OCBA’s Trusts & Estates Section, attended this year’s Annual Seminar, where the focus was on managing high-conflict personalities in mediation.

Always great to see our team staying involved in the local legal community! 👏

“Mom promised me the house.” 🏡
“Grandma said that ring would be mine.” 💍

But is a promise enough?

This week, the Billable Bean is spilling the legal beans on what can actually determine who receives an asset, from your estate planning documents to how property is titled and who is named as a beneficiary.

The takeaway? If you’ve promised someone something important, make sure your estate plan says so. Clear wishes deserve clear planning.

An inheritance can come with a lot more than a dollar sign.

For this week’s Hot Take Thursday, we asked our attorneys: “When passing wealth to the next generation, one thing families should plan for beyond the dollars is…”

From preparing the people who will inherit to thinking about the family as a whole, there’s more to a successful wealth transfer than simply deciding who gets what.

What actually happens to your home if it’s in a trust?

The Billable Bean is back with another Tuesday Tidbit! This week, we’re talking about what happens when a home is held in a trust, how the successor trustee steps in, and why funding your trust is just as important as creating one.
