Parents plan for so many things.

School. Activities. Medical care. Their child's future.

But there is another question that deserves thoughtful consideration:
Who would care for your child if you were no longer able to?

Choosing a guardian isn't simply about picking someone you love. It means considering who could provide stability, care, guidance, and a safe home for your child.

It's also a decision worth revisiting as your family changes.

The person who feels like the right choice today may not be the same person you would have chosen several years ago.

Planning ahead gives you the opportunity to think through that decision intentionally.

Probate is one of those legal processes many families don't think about until they suddenly have to navigate it.

After someone dies, there may be property to identify, debts or claims to address, beneficiaries or heirs to consider, and legal steps that need to be followed.

And no two estates are necessarily alike.

For the person responsible for administering an estate, understanding the process can be just as important as knowing what the deceased person owned.

If you've recently lost someone and have questions about what happens to their estate, learning about the probate process can be an important first step.

When most people hear “estate planning,” they think about what happens after death.

But estate planning can also involve planning for what happens during your lifetime.

If you become unable to make certain decisions for yourself, your family may have questions about who can act on your behalf and how your affairs should be handled.

Those are much easier questions to address when you've had the opportunity to make your wishes
known in advance.

Estate planning isn't about expecting the worst.

It's about making thoughtful decisions while you have the ability to make them.
If you haven't reviewed your estate plan recently, it may be worth taking a closer look at whether it still reflects your circumstances and wishes.

Estate planning isn't only about property.

It's about making your wishes clear.

It's about giving your family direction.

It's about thinking ahead so the people you love aren't left trying to guess what you would have wanted.

Planning is one way to care for your family before they ever need it.

A good estate plan is a gift of clarity.

Being named executor can feel like a significant responsibility and it is.

An executor may have a range of responsibilities relating to the administration of an estate.

Those responsibilities can involve assets, debts, documents, legal requirements, and other administrative matters.

Every estate is different.

If you've been named executor, understanding your responsibilities early can help you approach the process with greater clarity.

Intestate is a term you may encounter during probate.

Generally, it refers to dying without a valid will governing the disposition of the estate.

That matters because applicable intestacy laws may determine how certain estate assets are distributed.

However, not every asset necessarily passes through a will or intestacy process. Ownership and asset structure can matter.

Understanding the terminology is a useful first step toward understanding the process.

September 11 is a day to pause, remember, and honor.

We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families who were forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and countless individuals who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable circumstances.

Today, we honor their memory and remember the strength, compassion, courage, and unity that brought people together in the days that followed.

We will never forget.

When someone dies without a will, families often wonder what happens next.

There may be assets to identify, debts and creditor claims to address, documents to gather, and legal and administrative steps to take.

The process depends on the specific circumstances of the estate.

If you're helping a family member navigate the process, start by organizing the information you have and seek appropriate legal guidance about the estate.
