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.

Why is there so much paper needed for a loan closing? Are the paper companies colluding with the government? The sheer volume of documents at a loan closing can be daunting. However, it is essential to focus on several key items to ensure you understand your obligations:

👉 Promissory Note: This central document details the loan's core terms, including the principal, interest rate, and repayment schedule. Verify its accuracy meticulously.
👉 Deed of Trust or Security Agreement: This outlines the assets securing the loan. Carefully examine the description of the pledged property to confirm its accuracy.
👉 Guarantee: In business loans, a guarantee may require the borrower(s) to be personally responsible for the debt. Understand the scope of this commitment.
👉 Loan Agreement: Often included in business loans, this document sets forth operational and financial covenants that the borrower must adhere to.

Before finalizing the loan, take the time to carefully review these documents. If any errors are found, insist on corrections prior to signing. This proactive step can prevent potential complications later on.

A Power of Attorney (POA) is like a spare tire – you might not need it often, but your family will be SO glad you have it if you do! 😉 Basically, a POA lets you name someone you trust (your "agent") to handle your finances if you can't. It's not about hiring a lawyer, but about giving a loved one the power to help. Skipping this can mean a costly and time-consuming court process later. Choose your agent wisely – someone responsible you trust completely!

Here's another important caveat. POAs become invalid when you die, so your agent will have no authority at that point. Be sure you have a Will or other estate planning in place to cover this situation.

As always feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Heads up to all the unmarried couples out there! ❤️ Sometimes navigating legal stuff can be a bit different when you're not married. North Carolina does not recognize common law marriage. Since you don't have those automatic marriage protections, it's a good idea to take charge and make sure your control how your assets will be distributed and make sure your wishes are followed.

So, here are a few things to keep in mind about estate planning that are extra important for unmarried couples. Slide on over to learn and feel free to reach out if you have questions.
