The Thanksgiving season reminds us to express gratitude, but it’s also the perfect time to show it through action.

One of the most impactful ways to care for your loved ones is by having a solid estate plan in place. It not only ensures your wishes are honored, but also offers peace of mind for those you care about most.

An estate plan usually includes:

✅ A will to guide asset distribution and name guardians
✅ A revocable living trust to avoid probate
✅ Financial and health care powers of attorney
✅ A living will for end-of-life preferences
✅ Beneficiary designations

If you haven’t reviewed your plan lately or haven’t started, there’s no better time than now. Your future self (and your family) will thank you.

I'm often asked what happens to someone’s debt after they pass away. It’s important to know that, while those obligations don’t simply disappear, loved ones are not automatically responsible. Gaining clarity on how estate debts are handled can offer some peace of mind during a difficult time.

Not everything that holds value is listed on a bank statement or investment portfolio. While your estate plan may cover financial accounts like IRAs, 401(k)s, or annuities, it’s just as important to consider the sentimental items — things like family heirlooms, handwritten letters, photo albums, and recipe books.

I am happy to share that I recently received the Distinguished Alumni Award from George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, a meaningful milestone in my professional journey.

I want to thank the Schar School and the Alumni Association for the recognition, Mayor Catherine Read of the City of Fairfax for the pleasant dinner conversation and her exemplary public service, and, as always, Cam for being my supportive hubby and date.

Most importantly, to every BaryLaw client and all of the kind folks who refer the people you care about to me, thanks for your support!

It ensures your wishes are clearly understood and respected.
