A life insurance policy that lapses sends no notification to the beneficiary.

The first time most families find out is when they file a claim and discover the policy is gone.
The policy existed. It just wasn't maintained.

In Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner's case, the policy was never purchased at all.

A nine-year-old. Her father died tragically in a drowning accident on a family vacation. No one legally authorized to make decisions for her in the first 72 hours.

Not because no one loved her. Because love doesn't give you legal authority.

Even if every financial commitment in Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner's premarital agreement had been fulfilled, this question was still unanswered.

This week's article covers what most families never think about until it's too late.

Having a plan isn't the same as having a plan that works.

A prenup gets signed. The life insurance was supposed to be purchased. The retirement account was supposed to be funded. Most families have no one whose job it is to verify that any of it happened.

A Personal Family Lawyer® firm's job starts where the signing ends.

Q: "We have a prenup. We're good, right?"

A prenup is the promise. What protects your family is whether the commitments in it were actually carried out, and having someone whose job it is to verify that, every year.

Most families never have anyone check. That's the gap.

This week's article uses the case of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, to show exactly what that gap looks like, and what should have happened instead.

$1 million life insurance policy. Never purchased.

A Roth IRA he agreed to fund. Never funded.

Annual payments written into their premarital agreement. Never made.

One year after Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner died tragically in a drowning accident on a family vacation, his widow is suing for $1.2 million in unfulfilled promises. The commitments were in writing. They were just never carried out.

This week's blog is about what I would have done differently as their attorney.

Did you know?

Most people who have a will signed it once and never heard from their attorney again.

The new way: a plan that stays current. A lawyer who knows your family. Someone who holds the whole picture, so when something happens, your family knows exactly who to call.

In case you missed it:If both parents die, there's a window before any legal proceeding can happen. In those first 72 ho...

In case you missed it:

If both parents die, there's a window before any legal proceeding can happen. In those first 72 hours, there may be no one with legal authority to pick your kids up from school, take them to a doctor, or keep them out of the care of strangers.

A will names a guardian for the long term. It doesn't close that gap.

Documents are tools.

A will is a tool. A trust is a tool.

What creates real protection is a relationship with a lawyer who knows your family, and is there when something actually happens.
