As you might know, August is National Make a Will Month — making now the perfect time to revisit one of the most crucial parts of an estate plan.

Wills provide clear legal direction so your intentions can be carried out the way you want upon your passing. Without a will in place, such decisions may be left to the state, which might not carry out your intentions the way you would prefer.

With this in mind, we wanted to share a brief overview of some commonly asked questions about wills. Swipe for more information.

If you would like to review your current will or talk through how it fits into your overall estate plan, feel free to reach out. We are always happy to walk through your situation with you and help identify any gaps or updates that may be worth addressing.

With summer in full swing, many families are visiting amusement parks and water parks. These attractions are designed to be fun and exciting, but accidents do happen. When injuries occur, it is important to understand your legal rights.

Visitors may accept certain risks when riding attractions or participating in water activities. However, park operators, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and staff members still have legal responsibilities to maintain reasonably safe conditions. When those responsibilities are ignored, injuries may create legal liability.

Swipe for a brief overview of common injuries related to amusement and water parks, liability, and liability waivers.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an amusement or water park this summer and is not sure what to do next, know that our team is always here as a resource. Give us a call, and we can find a time to connect.
