Confusion about the legal issues we all will face causes a legal scramble at the worst possible time. But you don’t have to leave this to chance. Instead of waiting to come up to speed at the worst possible time, don’t wait. I’m Jen, a probate attorney who’s walked hundreds of families through the legal issues that come up and taught other attorneys how these issues work. But more importantly, I teach people just like you how estate planning works. That’s why I made the Legal Field Guide for Helping Aging Parents. An online resource that introduces you to the legal topics you’ll face, confirms your comprehension, and lets you know when it’s time to reach out to a professional. Enrollment is open now but closing this Sunday. You shouldn’t have to guess and scramble at the worst possible time and you don’t have to. https://lnkd.in/gVTPsQwN #probate #estateplanning #aging #caregiving #learnonline

It’s not being needed. Probate attorneys start doing a happy dance when you are taking steps to need us less. That’s things like, 🔸learning what an effective estate plan is (one that actually works and it’s just some legal documents that didn’t avoid a mess) 🔸normalizing having your legal affairs organized before death 🔸and talking to your loved one about it. Does talking to someone you love about estate planning seem overwhelming? Start here. Get my free insider tips for the conversation. https://lnkd.in/gVtZghyM #estateplanning #aging #caregiving

I have discussed what happens to your property if you do not have an estate plan, what Probate court is, and why you might want to avoid it. However, what happens to your property if it does not need to go through Probate court but has not been distributed through a Trust, payable upon death designation, or otherwise? This is where a Small Estate Affidavit comes into play.
