DIY estate planning tools can seem quick and convenient, but a will or trust only works if every document is valid, properly executed, and aligned with Mississippi’s specific requirements.

When even one piece is off, families can face delays, extra costs, or outcomes that don’t match your wishes.

Swipe to learn some of the most common ways DIY estate plans fall short.

If you're ready for a plan that’s clear, compliant, and tailored to your needs, our team at The McGee Firm is here to help. Reach out anytime to get started.

Summer is in full swing, and many families are getting their pools ready for warm-weather fun. If your home already has a pool — or you’re thinking about adding one — it’s important to understand how pool ownership affects safety responsibilities, liability, and insurance needs.

If you have questions about pool safety laws, premises liability, or a situation on your property, reach out anytime. We’re here to help you understand your options and safeguard your interests.

As we move into the middle of the year, it’s a great time to check whether recent life changes could impact your family law arrangements.

At The McGee Firm, we see many people experience big transitions without realizing their custody agreements, support orders, or legal plans may need updates.

Here are a few moments when a legal check‑in can make a real difference:

• New marriages or legal partnerships
• Changes in income or employment
• Relocation across cities, counties, or states
• New health challenges or caregiving responsibilities

Reviewing your documents now can help you avoid future disputes and ensure your plans truly reflect your current needs.

Our team is here to help you stay protected and informed. If you’ve had a recent life change, reach out to us at (601) 812-7541 or visit https://mcgee.legal/.

Fireworks can be exciting, but they also come with real risks if they aren’t handled safely. As we get closer to community celebrations, our team at The McGee Firm wants to help families stay informed.

Some of the most common fireworks-related injuries include:
• Burns affecting hands, arms, and exposed skin—sparklers alone reach extremely high temperatures.
• Eye injuries that may result in long-term vision issues when people stand too close.
• Lacerations, hearing damage, and respiratory irritation from malfunctioning devices or excessive smoke.
• Severe injuries from aerial shells or mortars that can lead to lasting complications.

Knowing the risks is the first step, but even the most careful person can still get hurt. If you or someone you love experiences a fireworks injury, our team is here to help you understand your legal options.

Co‑parenting can look very different once a child heads off to college. When your student reaches adulthood, many of the rights you previously managed as a parent legally shift to them — and that change can bring new questions for co-parents.

Our team at The McGee Firm understands how challenging this transition can be. Here are a few key legal considerations co-parents commonly face during the college years:

• Access to education and financial records
• Decision-making authority for medical care
• Updates to support or expense‑sharing agreements
• Expectations around travel, holidays, and communication

If you’re unsure how your current order applies now that your child is in college, or you’d like help updating an agreement, we’re here to support you.

Once your child turns 18, you no longer have automatic authority to step in and make medical or financial decisions for them—even in an emergency. Having the right legal documents in place can make all the difference.

If your child needs help getting started, we’re here to guide you through every step. Call us anytime at (601) 812-7541.
