New on the blog: "The Estate Tax Exemption Is Now $15 Million (and Permanent) — What That Actually Changes for Your Plan"

The federal estate tax exemption isn't sunsetting the way everyone expected — 2026 legislation made roughly $15M per person permanent. If your plan was built around beating a deadline that no longer exists, it's worth a second look.

New on the blog: "What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Arkansas? A Plain-Language Guide to Intestacy"

Appeals aren't a second trial.

A common misconception: appealing a court decision means re-arguing the whole case. It doesn't. Appellate courts generally review the existing record for legal errors -- new evidence and new arguments usually aren't on the table. That's why the trial record matters so much the first time around.

Considering an appeal? Let's talk about whether the record supports one.

Who gets paid when a mineral lease is signed?

Royalty payments are supposed to flow to the current owner of record, but outdated title records, unprobated estates, or missing heirs can render title "unmarketable", and hold up payments. If a check has stopped or payments have never started, the title (not the oil and gas company) is usually the first place to look.

We can help sort out title issues holding up payment.

Myth: A will keeps my family out of probate court.

Fact: In states like Arkansas and Oklahoma, a will doesn't necessarily avoid probate -- it just tells the probate court what to do. If you want your family to skip probate entirely, that usually takes additional planning, like a properly funded trust or beneficiary designations. Not sure which pieces you're missing? That's exactly what an estate planning review is for.

Starting a business? Get the entity right first.

Whether it be an LLC, corporation, partnership, the paperwork may look similar, but the liability protection, tax treatment, and management rules are genuinely different. The most common mistake we see isn't picking the "wrong" entity, it's not updating it as the business grows, or the laws change.

Ask us before you file, not after.
