Estate planning isn’t only about what happens after you’re gone.

It can also help address who can make financial or medical decisions for you if you’re unable to do so yourself. That’s why powers of attorney and medical directives can be just as important as a will.

Business owners: a template contract may not be enough.

Agreements should reflect the actual relationship, responsibilities, payment terms, ownership issues, risk, and what happens if the relationship ends. Generic forms can leave important questions unanswered.

When should you call an attorney?

Usually, before a small problem becomes a bigger one. If you’ve received a legal notice, been asked to sign something important, are facing a dispute, or simply aren’t sure what your rights or obligations are, getting guidance early can help you make more informed decisions.

Legal Myth: “If we agreed to it verbally, it doesn’t count.”

Not always. Some verbal agreements may be enforceable, while others must be in writing. The details matter—including the type of agreement and the circumstances surrounding it.

Starting a business with someone is exciting.

Talking about what happens if one of you wants out? Usually not so much.

But business partners can retire, move, become ill, disagree about the direction of the company—or simply decide they’re ready for something different.

The better time to decide what happens next is while everyone is still getting along.

If you own a business with someone else, ask yourself:

Do we know what happens if one of us wants to leave?

If the answer is “we’ll figure it out,” that may be worth moving up the to-do list.

They may still be on your phone plan.
You may still make their dentist appointments.
They may still call you when they don’t know how to do laundry.

But once your child turns 18, they’re legally an adult.

That can change what information you’re able to access and what decisions you can make for them if there’s an emergency.

If you have a college student or young adult in your family, it’s worth having a conversation about the legal documents they may need now that they’re 18.

It’s one of those milestones that comes with a little more paperwork than anyone puts in the baby book.

Some legal questions don’t stay neatly in one category.

Tax issues can show up in business decisions, estate planning, probate and disputes. That overlap is something Carolyn Dove deals with every day.

Carolyn is both an attorney and a CPA, and her practice includes tax matters, estate planning and business law.

So when a question starts with, “I’m not sure if this is a legal issue or a tax issue…” there’s a good chance it’s worth a conversation.

“My family has to go through probate.”

Maybe. But the next question is: What kind?

Texas probate isn’t one single process. Depending on the estate, the will, debts and other circumstances, there may be different ways to handle an estate, including formal administration, muniment of title or certain small-estate procedures.

That’s why it’s worth asking what actually applies to your situation before assuming probate will look a certain way.

Have a probate question? The Dove Firm can help you figure out what the next step should be.

Business owners, what do you still have running on a handshake?

A vendor relationship?
An agreement with an independent contractor?
A deal with a business partner?
Something you agreed to years ago that has grown quite a bit since then?

When everyone gets along, putting things in writing can feel easy to put off. Unfortunately, the paperwork tends to matter most when everyone no longer agrees on what the deal was.

If a business relationship has changed, grown or become more valuable since the agreement was made, it may be worth taking another look at the contract behind it.
