We may not see a lot of leaves changing here, but Fall is when we start to welcome back those who escaped the heat for the summer. Welcome back, Friends!
By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s may grow to a projected 12.7 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent or cure Alzheimer’s disease. -Alzheimer's Association
A plan of action is absolutely needed for anyone who has this heartbreaking disease and the sooner in the disease you get started planning the better.
Wishing a happy Rosh Hashanah to all of our friends who celebrate!
Most of us will eventually need assistance with our daily living and we are lucky to live in a community that has a lot of resources to help. Having the proper Medical and Financial Powers of Attorney in place makes the process of obtaining that help when we need it most a lot smoother. Waiting until circumstances are acute can lead to avoidable disasters.
Make a plan for your future self!
Who do we love? GRANDPARENTS!!
Why? CAUSE THEY SPOIL US!!

What practices can help with healthy aging?
Here were some suggestions we found from the CDC, HHS, and Mayo Clinic that we put in our own words:
-Mobility exercises
-Brain puzzles, like crosswords
-FRESH AIR!
-Don't forget to drink water
-Eat a well-balanced diet
-Regular Check ups
and lastly...
-Quit scrolling facebook before bed and get some sleep!
In honor of Labor Day our office will be closed on Monday, Sept 4.
We will resume normal business hours Tuesday, Sept 5.
Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend!
What is Labor Day? It's a day that demonstrates how far we've come since the days of the Industrial Revolution. Here's how it started.
Kicking off the peak of hurricane season with September's National Preparedness Month.
It's a good reminder to make sure your estate documents are up-to-date. It is recommended to have them reviewed by an estate planning attorney every 3 years.
However, if you are NEW TO FLORIDA this should happen as soon as possible, as laws differ from state to state.
Keeping our Autonomy while Aging is most people's #1 goal.
Here are 10 questions to contemplate to keep that goal on track:
❤🌴❤ Wishing all of our Florida friends and family a safe next couple of days while we ride out Hurricane Idalia. While we are not sure what is to come overnight for our community, our intention is to get back to business as usual as soon as possible.
We will update here if we need to close due to safety concerns for our staff or lack of utilities.
Stay safe and we will see you on the other side of the storm! ❤🌴❤
Remembering our best pal and officemate, Otto, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year. Miss you and love you always, bud!
As a reminder: don't forget your pets when thinking about your estate planning!
Although it can be convenient to have your child named on your bank account to pay bills when you’re sick or away, adding a child’s name to a bank account may have unintended consequences for both you and the child.
Issues that can arise:
-The money in your account could be diverted to unintended parties, like an ex-spouse, creditors, or plaintiffs.
-It could disrupt the intentions of your Will.
-Your child could lose eligibility for public funds, and your grandchildren could lose the opportunity for scholarships and financial aid.
-Tax consequences regarding gifting
Always check with your estate planning attorney before adding any person to your bank accounts!
We see you, Boomers! 😍😍😍
A Living Will, also known as an Advanced Directive or Health Care Directive, is a legal document that spells out which medical treatments you would or would not like to be implemented when you are at the end of life.
Not to be confused with a Last Will and Testament or a Living Trust!
We include Living Wills in all of our Estate Planning Packages.
Naming Guardians for your littles is the #1 Estate Planning goal for younger families. If you have children under 18 years of age and do not have a Will in place yet, put it at the top of your list.
Happy Monday, friends!
Hope your weekend was filled doing what you love.
Birdie is here to remind us all how important it is to include your pets in any estate planning you do! Make a plan for your beloved furry (and non-furry!) best friends so no pet is ever left behind.
Happy Friday, friends!
Plan wisely, Dream BIG
Life is unpredictable. Planning done right will account for that.
Starting a conversation about finances and end of life wishes can be difficult or even scary to consider.
This article has some great strategies on how to navigate these essential discussions with your children.
Being clear and open now will avoid sibling arguments later.
Is today the greatest day that ever there was?? We think it might be! IT'S WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY!!! How are you gonna celebrate?
Wishing all of our friends and family a safe and happy Fourth of July!
Hours this coming week:

CLOSED Tuesday July 4th

Hope all of our friends have a safe holiday!
Today is Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865. We hope you will join us as we take the day to honor and celebrate this day of liberation.
For anyone who would like to learn more about the history of the holiday and its meaning, the article below from the National Museum of African American History and Culture gives a nice overview:
Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
Wishing all of our Dads out there a Happy Father's Day, including our very own Attorney Cuturic!
Today may we remember and honor the men and women who lost their lives serving in our military and may we hold a place in our heart for the loved ones left behind to grieve. ❤ Leave in the comments the name or names of anyone you are remembering today so that we may join you in honoring them as well. ❤
A reminder: Our offices will be closed this coming Monday, May 29th in honor of Memorial Day. We will be back to regular business hours on Tuesday, May 30th.
We love you, Mom! Wishing all of our moms out there the best day ever!
How lucky are we that there is so much EARTH to LOVE in our community! ❤🌎❤🌎❤🌎
Everyone: Call your Siblings, tell them you love them, and make sure they have their estate planning completed!! ❤❤❤

✨The more you know!✨
If you are in need of Medicaid Planning, please please please hire an actual attorney who is experienced in this area of law to do the work. We encounter too many scenarios of folks not getting the proper information from Non-Attorney Planners, resulting in disaster outcomes with no avenue of recourse.
A friend of the firm shared this with us recently and we thought we would pass it along to anyone else who may need it. ❤❤❤
Estate Planning and Probate can both bring out a lot of feelings in folks and grief is often a part of this.
'It helps to realize that we only grieve for what we love.'
We celebrate today a remarkable man, lost too soon.
Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
