I often tell clients that creating a Trust is like building the foundation of a house. Once the foundation is set and strong, the rest of the house can be built. Over time, additions can be made, walls can be knocked down and the house can be re-designed.

A Trust is foundational to protecting you and your family in the event of the unexpected. Once the foundation is set, assets can be moved in and out of the Trust throughout your lifetime.

Without a strong foundation, you are standing on quicksand 😑

What can you START now that has the ability to protect you for a lifetime and beyond?

🙋🏻‍♀️ A Trust
🙋🏻‍♀️ A Will
🙋🏻‍♀️ Power of Attorney
🙋🏻‍♀️ Advanced Medical Directives
🙋🏻‍♀️ Guardianship for minor children

Now that we have settled into 2022, what are you waiting for? Top Excuses: Too Expensive, Too time consuming, Not rich enough.

👉🏼Too expensive: You know what is expensive? Going through Probate and giving a chunk of your Estate (including your house) to the State of CA 🤢
👉🏼Too time consuming: You know what is time consuming? 12-18 months in Probate while the courts decide where everything you’ve worked hard for should go…..
👉🏼Not rich enough: Anyone can become incapacitated, everyone has money/equity/retirement they’d like to keep with their spouse and/or kids if something happened to them.

START!

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

Deterding Law thanks and honors each and every veteran! 🇺🇸

On this Independence Day 2021, I applied FREEDOM to my own life! I did it... I retired myself from a nearly 15 year career in law enforcement to expand my law practice here at Deterding Law.

This decision did not come lightly, nor was it something out of the blue. It was a crossroads in my life and I had to decipher between my head and my heart. I guarded this decision for months, simply because not every piece of advice is good advice. I sought advice from people who are living the life I seek to live. A life full of choices, presence, design and independence.

Law enforcement gave me strength, bravery and honor. I gave law enforcement my full commitment for a decade and a half, and I am extremely proud to have walked that path with some of the most extraordinary humans I have ever met... and many whose friendships will last a lifetime.

Now I can serve my community in an exciting and expansive way by protecting more families through Wills and Trusts. My heart is so full 💙

So, cheers to LIFE! Cheers to FREEDOM! May we be bold enough to follow our hearts... 🇺🇸 -Tess

Estate Planning Isn't Only About Death:

Statistically speaking, a young parent is much more likely to become disabled because of a disease or accident, than they are to pass away. A great estate plan incorporates disability planning as well as planning for an untimely death.

Who would raise your child if you were unable? How would you want them to be raised?
