📍 Planning a move when children and a custody agreement are involved? There are rules to follow.

In Indiana, certain relocations require advance notice to the court and the other parent—and if the other parent objects, the court may need to determine whether the move is in the child’s best interests.

From notice deadlines to custody and parenting-time considerations, BB&C’s latest blog explains what parents should know before moving day.

🏡 Inherited property? Here’s how the “step-up in basis” could save you thousands in taxes.

When someone inherits property, the tax owed on future sales often depends on the property’s value at the time of inheritance—not when it was originally purchased. This powerful tax rule can significantly reduce your capital gains liability.

Our latest blog explains:
✔️ What the step-up in basis means
✔️ How it protects heirs from major tax burdens
✔️ Why smart planning matters for your estate

🚗⚠️ What counts as a personal injury case?

Many people think personal injury law only applies to car accidents—but it covers much more. Common examples include:

🚘 Car accidents
🏢 Slip and fall injuries
🐕 Dog bites
🏥 Medical malpractice
⚙️ Product liability claims

No matter the type of accident, the key question is often the same: Was someone else's negligence responsible for your injury?

Our latest blog explores common personal injury case examples and what it takes to pursue a claim.

📅 Summer parenting time planning is here—and the April 1 deadline is approaching.

According to Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, the non-custodial parent must notify the custodial parent of their preferred summer schedule by April 1. Failing to do so shifts the decision-making to the custodial parent.

From holiday weekends to summer school and activity planning, thoughtful scheduling now can prevent unnecessary conflict later.

Our latest blog outlines what parents need to know to prepare a compliant and effective summer schedule.

💰 Will your family owe estate taxes in Indiana?

Indiana no longer has a state inheritance or estate tax, but that doesn’t always mean an estate is tax-free. Certain assets may still be subject to federal estate taxes, capital gains taxes, or income taxes depending on the size and structure of the estate. (hereforlife.com)

Understanding how estate taxes work—and planning ahead—can help protect your assets and reduce stress for your loved ones later on.
