Quick question: Does the person you named as executor five years ago still answer your texts? 👀

Life changes. Relationships change. The person who once seemed perfect for the job may now live across the country, have too much on their plate, or no longer be someone you trust with important decisions.

Estate Planning Review Month is a good time to check the people named in your documents:

✔️ Executor
✔️ Trustee
✔️ Power of Attorney Agent
✔️ Guardian
✔️ Beneficiaries

Make sure they are still the right people—and confirm their names, addresses, and contact information are current.

Your estate plan should reflect your life today, not the cast of characters from three seasons ago.

Need to review or update your documents? Let’s talk.

You know that feeling when you try on something from the back of the closet and immediately think, “Oh… this belonged to a different era of my life”?

Estate plans can do that too.

A plan that fit perfectly a few years ago may not fit quite right today. Life changes. Families change. Assets change. Relationships change. And sometimes the people named in your documents are no longer the people you would trust with your houseplants, much less your entire estate.

This month is all about reviewing what you have and making sure your documents still match your life now.

No need to panic.
No need to throw the whole closet away.
Just take a look and make sure the plan still fits.

August = Estate Planning Review Month. Let’s make peace of mind look good. ✨

August = Estate Planning Review Month ✏️📚

Back-to-school season has a way of making everyone feel like they need fresh folders, new pens, updated calendars, and at least one very unnecessary pack of highlighters.

It is also a great time to review the important papers that do not fit neatly in a backpack.

Your estate plan should still match your life. That means checking whether your documents still reflect your wishes, the right people are named to serve, your beneficiaries are updated, and your family knows where the important documents are located.

You do not need a brand-new binder and color-coded tabs to get organized.

But honestly? They do help. 😉

I’m back in the office! ☕📄

Vacation was wonderful, the coffee has been notified, and my brain is slowly accepting that “vacation mode” is no longer a legally valid status.

Thank you for your patience while I was out. I will be working through emails, messages, and pending items as quickly as possible.

Now back to wills, trusts, deeds, powers of attorney, and making plans that actually matter.

Also, Millie appears to still be observing vacation hours. Thank goodness. 🐾😉

Throwback Thursday: 90s Edition. 📼💾

Floppy disks, dial-up internet, Blockbuster late fees, and waiting 37 minutes for one song to download.

Cool then.
Concerning now.

If your estate plan is old enough to remember AOL screen names, Tamagotchis, or the sound of dial-up internet, it may be time for a review.

Life changes. Families change. Assets change. Laws change.
Your estate plan should not be stuck in 1998.

Wordy Wednesday: Trustee

A trustee is not just the person who “handles the trust.”
That sounds simple. It is not always simple.

A trustee is the person trusted to manage assets, follow the terms of the trust, communicate with beneficiaries, keep records, and make decisions that are in the beneficiaries’ best interests.

In other words, this is not the job for someone whose personal filing system is “somewhere in my car.” 🚗📄

Choosing a trustee matters. You want someone responsible, organized, fair, and capable of handling the job without turning the trust administration into a family group chat disaster.

Estate planning is not just about who gets what.
It is also about who you trust to carry out the plan.

Choose wisely. Future everyone will appreciate it. ☕️

Even estate planning attorneys need time to recharge. ☀️

I will be taking a little time away from the office (July 20–24), and communications may be delayed during this time.

While I am out, I will be doing my best to rest, recharge, and resist the urge to check my email every five minutes — which, as a solo attorney, is basically a trust exercise with myself.

I appreciate your patience and understanding. I will respond to emails and messages as soon as possible when I return.

In the meantime, may your documents behave, your inbox stay calm, and no one decide they need an emergency estate plan “by tomorrow.” 😉

Happy National Mac & Cheese Day. 🧀

Mac and cheese is allowed to be messy.
It is cheese. It has earned that right.

Your estate plan, however, should not be a casserole of confusion, missing documents, mystery beneficiaries, and “I thought someone else was handling that.”

A good plan helps keep things clear, organized, and easier for the people you love.

Leave the mess to the mac & cheese.
Not your estate plan.

Monday Blues? 💙

Your unfinished estate plan is really committing to the theme.

It’s sitting there.
Unfinished.
Unbothered.
Probably judging you from a folder, inbox, or mental to-do list labeled “eventually.”

Unfortunately, “eventually” does not name an executor, choose a guardian, avoid family confusion, or tell anyone where the important documents are.

Monday is already doing the most.
Don’t let your estate plan join in.

Handle the plan. Keep the blues to the coffee mug. ☕📄

Happy National Kitten Day! 🐱🐾

Kittens are allowed to be chaotic.
They are tiny, fluffy, and have absolutely no respect for your curtains.

Your estate plan, however, should not be running around unsupervised at 2:00 in the morning knocking things off the counter.

Without a plan, your family may be left trying to figure out who is in charge, who gets what, and where the important documents are — basically herding kittens, but with court deadlines.

Keep the chaos cute.
Plan ahead.
