Q: My spouse knows my passwords. Is that enough?

A: No. What happens when a verification code goes to your unavailable phone, or your spouse needs help from the provider?

Knowing your password does not establish their authority to act.

A Personal Family Lawyer® attorney helps connect your legal plan with provider-approved access arrangements, so your family has more than a login to rely on.

Your spouse knows where your important accounts are. But would they know which account pays the mortgage, where the insurance policy lives, or whether they have authority to act if you cannot?

Knowing which accounts matter is helpful. It is not your plan.

Your backup beneficiary is not a backup detail.

Naming your young children after your spouse leaves a question: who could legally receive and manage their shares?

Insurers generally do not pay proceeds directly to minors. Review the arrangement behind the names, not just whether every box is filled. This week’s article explains where to start.

You trust your spouse. You still want a plan for your children.

If either of you has children from an earlier relationship, “whatever is left goes to the kids” deserves more than an understanding.

A direct insurance payout generally gives your spouse control. A properly designed trust can provide instructions for support and what remains. Read about the tradeoffs.

Q: I have a trust. Should it receive my life insurance?

A: Not automatically. The trust’s terms need to fit the job.

A Personal Family Lawyer® attorney reviews who needs the money, how they would access it, and who would manage it. Having a trust is the starting point, not the answer.

When safety, children, and your future are at stake, experience matters.

Meet Lora McClain, Esq., a California family law attorney at Baron Family Law whose deepest experience is in domestic violence matters.

Lora has practiced family law and civil litigation since 2012. She brings that experience to domestic violence restraining orders, high-conflict custody, divorce, move-away disputes, support, and post-judgment matters.

She has also served as minor’s counsel, representing children’s best interests in custody proceedings. That work adds an important dimension to her experience with the issues that can shape a child’s daily life and a family’s future.

Her broader background includes contracts and complex business matters, bringing additional perspective when personal relationships and financial interests overlap. Before joining BFL, she built and operated her own practice for more than a decade.

A McGeorge School of Law graduate with certificates in Advocacy and Intellectual Property, Lora combines detailed preparation with strategic judgment.

Courtroom strength. A clear view of what is at stake.

Through our Beverly Hills and Sacramento offices, BFL serves clients in Los Angeles County, the Sacramento region, and throughout California.

You bought the policy. Now, who should receive the money?

Your spouse? Your trust? Neither answer is automatically better.

For Life Insurance Awareness Month, I’m looking beyond the coverage amount: who needs support, who will manage the money, and what happens if your first choice cannot receive it. Start with your family, not a checkbox.

Five days can matter to an inheritance.

A 120-hour survival requirement means five days. Where that default applies, surviving a spouse by two days generally is not enough to inherit under it.

State law and your documents can change the rule. Book a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to discuss how the survival requirements may apply to your own plan. 📞https://bit.ly/4vhf5Qu

Do you or your spouse have children from a previous relationship? “Everything to my spouse” deserves a second question.

If your spouse inherits and dies shortly afterward, their estate plan may direct those assets to different recipients than you expected.

Your children’s inheritance deserves a deliberate answer. This week’s article explains why the survival period and backup beneficiaries need to fit your family.
