More debate topics coming in hot from the Morton & Gettys whiteboard. First up: would you rather live without AC or heat? The office was not divided on this one with heat winning 15 to 0, though one voter noted their answer would change in the winter, leading to skepticism from a colleague. One diplomat added "depends on the country." Then we settled the age-old toilet paper debate: over or under? Over won in a landslide, 17 to 1, but it's hard to argue with the one "under" voter's explanation. One voter deemed the whole question optional, and another just wanted it on record that as long as there's toilet paper on the roll, they don't care. Let us know in the comments where you stand.

The Morton & Gettys debate board is heating up. This month the office weighed in on middle school research habits with the card catalog edging out search engine 11 to 9, while one voter had never heard of a card catalog, which tells you everything. And when asked to give up coffee or their phone for a month, the office chose coffee, 10 to 6, with one very passionate phone voter ready to ditch it permanently. What would your answers be?

This summer at Morton & Gettys, we've continued to settle passionate office debates very scientifically, by whiteboard poll. We hit pause over rewind (11–6), chose endless summer over endless winter (15–2 — with a few rogue Fall votes), and picked life under the sea over outer space (16–4, plus one very passionate "NEITHER"). For the Fourth of July, hot dogs led the pack over burgers, a smoked Boston butt earned serious respect, and potato salad? A comfortable yes. What would your answers have been?

Do you need a trust? If avoiding probate is a goal, a properly funded trust is one of the most effective ways to get there. Real estate, investments, and life insurance can all be distributed according to your trust; however, North and South Carolina have different processes. Heath Myers breaks down what belongs in a trust, and what doesn't, in our latest article. Read more: https://mortongettys.com/do-i-need-a-trust-ways-to-avoid-probate-in-n-c-and-s-c/
