Life changes like marriage, divorce, growing your family, or even a name change often come with more than just emotional and logistical adjustments. They can have important legal implications too.

Swipe for a few key areas worth revisiting after a major life change.

Families may be surprised to learn that a valid will does not automatically transfer everything after someone passes away. Sometimes, probate administration may still be required before assets can be properly distributed.

Probate administration is the court-supervised process that helps:

🔹Verify the validity of a will.

🔹Identify heirs and beneficiaries.

🔹Gather and inventory estate assets.

🔹Notify creditors and review claims.

🔹Distribute property according to the will or state law when there is no will.

Probate is more than paperwork. It is an important legal process designed to ensure that assets are transferred correctly and that outstanding obligations are properly addressed before distribution occurs.

Trying to navigate probate without legal guidance can lead to delays, mistakes, and unnecessary stress during an already difficult time. Contact our firm for guidance through probate administration or probate litigation.

As the school year gets underway, many families are adjusting to new routines, schedules, and responsibilities. For parents who share custody, this time of year can bring important questions about parenting plans, transportation, extracurricular activities, and child-related expenses.

As children grow and schedules change, it may be a good time to revisit existing custody or child support agreements to ensure they still support your family’s current needs. Even small adjustments can make a meaningful difference during the school year.

If you have questions about your custody arrangement or need guidance navigating changes, our team is here to help. Contact us to discuss your options and learn how we can support you and your family.
