What are our attorneys reading outside the office?

Timothy Babcock keeps a varied list, balancing page-turning fiction with the kind of leadership thinking that sharpens how he approaches his work. Here is what has been on his radar lately.

📖 11/22/63 by Stephen King
A sprawling, immersive novel that asks what would happen if you could go back and change history. With compelling characters and a story that is hard to put down, it is the kind of book that reminds you why fiction matters.

📚 The Ride of a Lifetime by Robert Iger
Tim's top business read. Iger reflects on decades of leadership at Disney with honesty and clarity. It is a thoughtful look at what it takes to build something lasting while staying true to your values.

🎧 The Rewatchables
A podcast dedicated to films worth watching more than once. Equal parts analysis and genuine enthusiasm, it is the kind of listen that makes a long drive go by quickly.

At Dale, Huffman and Babcock, we believe that good counsel comes from people who stay curious, whether that means staying current on the law or staying engaged with the world around them.

Have you read either of these? We would enjoy hearing what is on your list.

A new Indiana law taking effect July 1, 2026 gives the state nine months after a Medicaid recipient's death to pursue recovery of benefits paid, up from 120 days.

For families expecting to inherit a modest home or other assets from a loved one who received Medicaid after age 55, timing and planning matter more than ever.

We are so proud of Kaylee Eicher.

Kaylee, a senior at Norwell High School, has been part of our team at Dale, Huffman & Babcock in Bluffton since the beginning of the school year, and she has been a genuine pleasure to work with.

From greeting clients at the front desk to assisting with document preparation and data entry for wills and estate planning, Kaylee has taken on real responsibility and handled it with professionalism and care. Our clients noticed, and so did we.

We are grateful to Kaylee for the energy and dedication she brought to our office this year, and to her mentors Shelly Scott and Susanna Dill for investing in her growth along the way.

Kaylee plans to study political science at Ball State or Purdue University after graduation. Wherever she lands, we have no doubt she will do great things.

Congratulations, Kaylee. We will miss you and we are cheering for you.
