Not only did Reid have the answer…

he was certain the rest of us should have known it already. 😂

I stumbled across a series of videos from 2021 and couldn’t stop smiling.

At some point, I thought it would be fun to quiz Reid on estate planning terminology.

The results were… educational.

A gem of wisdom from our friend Scott P. Schomer.

Estate attorneys say things that sound completely ridiculous in any other professions.

We’re Generation X.

We grew up without GPS, survived dial-up internet, raised kids, and spent decades building our careers and savings.

But most of us still haven’t created a plan for what happens if we don’t make it to retirement.

No one likes to think about it, but a will, trust, and powers of attorney aren’t for you—they’re for the people who love you.

This article is worth a read.

Investing in growth isn’t just for portfolios.

This week Chip and Kim are in Austin attending a professional development conference focused on investment philosophy, client experience, communication, and long-term planning.

One of the principles highlighted today was creating opportunities for people to contribute to both the success of the organization and their own success. That idea resonates far beyond the investment world.

At Morrison Law Group, we’re continually looking for ways to improve our processes, strengthen our team, and create a better experience for the families we serve. Whether it’s estate planning, special needs planning, trust administration, or successions, our goal is to keep learning so we can better guide our clients through important life decisions.

One of the most powerful messages from this morning’s session:

“There are no second chances to correct what was left undone.”

Estate planning isn’t really about documents. It’s about making decisions while you still can, so your loved ones aren’t left with uncertainty, confusion, or unnecessary burdens later.

We’re spending the week in Austin learning from industry leaders and bringing new ideas home to better serve the families who trust us with their planning.

Did you know your spouse could legally use your home and assets after you pass away… even though your children technically own them?

Welcome to Louisiana usufruct law.

It’s one of the most confusing — and important — parts of Louisiana estate planning, especially for:
• blended families
• second marriages
• inherited homes
• family property disputes

We see families completely caught off guard by this after a loved one passes away.

Our newest blog breaks down:

what a usufruct actually is
what “naked ownership” means
what happens when a spouse remarries
and why Louisiana is different from almost every other state

Louisiana law gives you the right to use and benefit from property without owning it outright. That legal right is called a usufruct. In plain terms, a
