Your collectibles tell a story—make sure your estate plan does too.

From art and jewelry to coins, fi****ms, and family heirlooms, these assets are often some of the most valuable—and the most likely to cause conflict—if not clearly addressed.

Who gets what?
Should items be sold or preserved?
How will they be valued?

Without a plan, even the most meaningful collections can create confusion, delays, and disputes.

A thoughtful estate plan can:

✔ Clearly direct who receives specific items
✔ Provide guidance on valuation or sale
✔ Reduce the risk of family conflict
✔ Protect both financial and sentimental value

If your collection matters to you, it deserves more than a general provision. Make sure your plan reflects what you’ve built—and what you want it to become.

🌷Spring is all about fresh starts—your estate plan should be no exception.

Have you reviewed your will or trust recently? Changes in family, finances, or the law can make an outdated plan ineffective when it matters most.

Take a few minutes this season to ensure your wishes are clear, your loved ones are protected, and your plan actually works when it’s needed.

A little planning now can make all the difference later.

If Something Happened Tomorrow… Would You Be Ready?

Do you think estate planning is something you'll “get to later”?
That it only matters once you have kids or significant assets?

That thinking costs people more than they realize.

Join us for a free, no-pressure class led by an experienced estate planning attorney from Scarola Law, designed to simplify the process, clear up confusion, and help you take the first step with confidence.

In this class, you'll learn:
• A clear overview of estate planning—what it is and why it matters
• The essential documents everyone should have in place
• The key people you need to designate (and how to choose them)
• How joint ownership and assets actually work
• What death designations mean—and how they impact your plan
This class is for everyone—whether you're single, married, building wealth, or just getting started.

Spots are limited - reserve yours here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIed41li4TMNA0-IJboB7YgFB6a5ulERpbvQGtZsuvquy38Q/viewform)

What’s in My Estate?

When people hear the word estate, they picture mansions and yachts. But your estate is simply everything you own.

That includes:
🏠 Your home
💳 Bank accounts
📈 Investments
🚗 Vehicles
💻 Online accounts
📦 Personal belongings
🖼️ Your family photos
💎 Your jewelry
🏢 Your small business
🐾 Even your pets

If it’s yours — it’s part of your estate.

Estate planning isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. It’s for anyone who wants clarity, protection, and control over what happens next.

Digital Asset Planning Is No Longer Optional.

It’s 2026 — and your estate plan must account for:

💻 Cryptocurrency
📱 Social media accounts
🛍️ Online businesses
☁️ Cloud storage
🔐 Password-protected financial platforms
If your plan only covers your house and bank accounts, it’s incomplete.

Digital assets are real assets. And without proper authorization and planning, your loved ones may not be able to access them at all.

The future of estate planning includes your digital life. Does yours?

The 5 D’s: When Should You Update Your Estate Plan?

If any of these happen, it’s time to review your plan:

💔 Death
💍 Divorce
🩺 Diagnosis
📉 Decline
📅 Decade

Estate plans are not “set it and forget it.” Life changes — and your documents should reflect that. If one of the 5 D’s applies to you, it may be time for a review.

📩 Contact the team at Scarola Law to schedule a plan check-up.

🇺🇸 This Presidents’ Day, we’re reminded that leadership is about planning for the future. Estate planning is leadership at home—protecting your family, your values, and the legacy you leave behind.

We’re honored to help families plan with confidence.

Life Changed? Your Will Might Need an Update

You and your spouse took the important step of creating a comprehensive estate plan. At the time, everything was exactly as it should be. But years later, life looks a little different—and you may be wondering if you need to start all over.
In many cases, you don’t.

A codicil is a legal document that allows you to modify, update, or clarify specific parts of your existing will without rewriting the entire document. Since wills should be reviewed every 3 to 5 years anyway, adding a codicil is often the most efficient solution for minor changes.

Situations where a codicil may be appropriate include:

• Adding or removing an executor
• The birth of a child or addition of stepchildren
• Marriage or divorce
• A name change
• The death of a beneficiary
• Adding provisions for a new trust

A will is a “living” document—it should reflect your current life and future goals. The best first step is to schedule a review with an experienced estate planning attorney. If the changes are substantial, a new will may be recommended. If not, a codicil may be all you need.

📞 Scarola Law is here to help you make informed decisions and keep your estate plan working for you and your family.

Intestate vs. Probate: Is There a Difference?

A Last Will and Testament allows you to decide how your property and assets will be distributed after your death. Without one, the court—not you—makes those decisions.

When someone passes away intestate, it means they did not have a valid will in place. In that case, state law determines who inherits their assets, which may not reflect their wishes.

Probate, on the other hand, is the court-supervised legal process used to settle an estate. Whether or not a person has a will, their estate must go through probate. However, when there is no will, the process is often longer, more expensive, and more stressful for loved ones.

The bottom line:

✔️ A will doesn’t eliminate probate
✔️ But it makes the process smoother and ensures your wishes are honored
Estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family’s future.

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring commitment to justice, dignity, and equality.

Here in Colorado, we are fortunate to live in a state that values community, opportunity, and personal responsibility. Estate planning is one way individuals and families can protect what they’ve built, care for those they love, and leave a legacy that reflects their values.

As Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

On this MLK Day, we reflect on how service—both big and small—can help strengthen families and communities across Colorado.

📅 In observance of MLK Day, our office is closed today.

Charitable giving doesn’t have to end during your lifetime—it can be part of your legacy.

Under Colorado law, you can support the causes you care about through your estate plan while also creating potential tax efficiencies for your family. Charitable gifts can be structured through wills, trusts, or beneficiary designations—each with different benefits.

Estate planning allows you to give with intention and impact.

📅 Let’s talk about building your charitable legacy. Contact Scarola Law today.

Your estate plan isn’t complete if it ignores your digital life.

In Colorado, digital assets—like email, social media, photos, cryptocurrency, and online financial accounts—aren’t automatically accessible to your family unless you give clear legal authorization. Without it, loved ones may face delays or be denied access entirely.

A Colorado estate plan can authorize fiduciaries to manage digital assets while protecting your privacy and wishes.

📩 Let’s make sure your digital life is planned for, too.
