Dartmouth Town Meeting recently approved a change that helps protect property tax exemptions for qualifying veterans whose homes are held in trusts.

This is a practical update that recognizes common estate planning tools and helps ensure veterans don't lose benefits because of how their property is titled.

I explain what changed and why it matters in my latest post.

We are hosting another Tiny Talk session on May 27!

These free 15-minute conversations have been a wonderful way to connect with members of our community who have quick questions about planning for the future or simply don’t know where to start.

It’s been a joy to offer accessible guidance in a low-pressure setting. Because of the positive feedback, we’ll be continuing Tiny Talks for the rest of the year on the last Wednesday of every month.

May is Elder Law Awareness Month! A time to recognize the importance of planning for the future.

Elder law touches many aspects of life, from estate planning and long-term care to guardianship and protecting vulnerable loved ones.

Thoughtful planning today can help reduce stress, preserve assets, and ensure that personal wishes are respected tomorrow.

If you or your family have questions about planning ahead, we’re here as a resource.

Think probate is unavoidable? Not always. With the right planning, you can often skip the court process entirely.

👉 Curious whether your situation needs probate? Give this a read (or reach out for guidance).

Proud to have been part of today’s event with Kelly McCarthy, author of The Brass Ring Memoirs.

As a member of South Coast Senior Resource Association, Inc., it was great to see such a strong turnout and to be part of a conversation that brought our community together. Kelly’s story and the inspiration behind it made for a truly meaningful afternoon.

Grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success—looking forward to the next one.
