Marriage is a beautiful new chapter, but it doesn’t only bring big life changes. It can also bring significant legal and financial changes for couples. That’s why this new chapter is the perfect time to create or update your estate plan.

Without proper planning, state laws — not your wishes — could determine who makes decisions for you or inherits your assets. Remember: Each spouse should have their own will and power of attorney, even if your wishes align.

Give us a call, and we can get started.

As May brings more sunshine and renewed momentum, it is a great time to reflect on what is still possible.

There is no deadline on growth, and no expiration date on ambition. No matter where you are in your journey, you can begin again with clarity and purpose. And that fresh start does not have to be monumental to be meaningful. Often, the most impactful progress begins with one small, intentional step in a new direction.

As we move through this month, what is one goal or dream you are ready to revisit or take steps toward for the very first time? Feel free to share it in the comments. We would love to hear what you are working toward.

If you get charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in another state while traveling, it could follow you home.

That is because of the Driver's License Compact, which is an agreement between most states to share information about driving infractions. This means that a majority of states share DUI charges, so your home state will likely find out about any potential infractions.

Here’s what can happen if you get an out-of-state DUI:

✅ License suspension in your home state and possible criminal record in both states (if DUI laws are substantially similar enough between the two states)
✅ Court appearances in the state where you were arrested
✅ Fines, DUI school, or probation depending on local laws
✅ Increased insurance rates

DUIs are serious — even across state lines. If you've been charged while away from home, give us a call, and we can connect on what to do next.

If you get served margarine at a restaurant in Wisconsin without asking for it, watch out – that’s illegal 🤯

Yes, as you might have guessed, we are back for part two of our strange laws series, and you’d butter believe that this is a real law!

As it turns out, Wisconsin has some pretty strict rules around margarine. Along with not allowing margarine to be served at restaurants, no one is supposed to sell it unless it is properly packaged, the net weight is one pound, and the margarine label is no smaller than 20 point font.

If the specificities weren’t already interesting enough, you can also face a fine and even jail time for breaking this law! So yeah, maybe stick to selling just butter to play it safe in Wisconsin 🧈😰

As the days get longer throughout May, people can experience both earlier sunrises and later sunsets. However, not every night owl relishes an earlier sunrise, and not every early bird loves a later night.
