Most families don’t realize this until too late…

The estranged child.
The “black sheep.”
The child who never called or helped.

Without an estate plan, they will inherit the SAME as the child who showed up every single day.

And in blended families, the order of death can completely change which side of the family inherits.

The law does not automatically follow what feels “fair.”

That’s why proper estate planning matters.

📞 If you want your wishes—not the state—to decide who inherits, it may be time to create an estate plan.

If I were president, using my car as paving equipment would become federally illegal immediately 😭🚗

Where should probate be opened after someone dies? The answer often comes down to one critical legal concept: domicile.

In this video, probate attorney Darren Findling explains how courts determine domicile, why the death certificate matters, and what happens when someone owns homes in multiple states like Michigan and Florida.

Learn:
✔ What domicile means in probate law
✔ Why the death certificate can impact probate jurisdiction
✔ What happens if someone dies in a different state
✔ When probate can be opened outside the domicile state

Families are often surprised to learn that where someone dies is not always what controls probate and one incorrect detail on a death certificate can create major legal issues.

If you have questions about probate, estate administration, or trust matters, The Probate Pro can help.

Would you trust AI to decide your court case? 🤖⚖️

It sounds like science fiction… until you realize how fast artificial intelligence is changing the world around us.

Would that make the justice system MORE fair… or completely terrifying?

As AI continues to evolve, conversations about the future of jury trials, legal technology, and algorithmic decision-making are no longer hypothetical.

Could AI eventually assist juries? Replace them? Or should the human element of justice never disappear?

👇 We want to hear your opinion:

That feeling after graduating law school is hard to describe. The pride, relief, excitement and the sudden realization that the bar exam is next. ⚖️📚

Recent graduate and law clerk Cole Levine is officially stepping into that season, and we couldn’t be more proud of him.

Every lawyer remembers this season. The long days and nights, the pressure, the uncertainty, and the excitement of being so close to officially entering the profession. It’s a grind.

Now it’s time to put in the final work and go crush the bar exam. The future is bright. Go Cole! 👏

Most families don’t realize how easy it is to make costly probate mistakes.

Three of the biggest:
• Waiting too long to begin probate
• Distributing assets before legal authority
• Speaking with creditors on the phone

These issues can create delays, confusion, and unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.

Understanding the probate process early can make a major difference.

🚨 The #1 Reason People Fire Their Lawyer
It’s usually not because they lost the case.
It’s because they stopped hearing from their attorney.
One of the smartest questions you can ask before hiring a lawyer is:
👉 “How often will we communicate during my case?”
Clear expectations upfront can prevent frustration, confusion, and unnecessary stress later.
A good legal experience starts with good communication.
At The Probate Pro, we believe clients should never feel left in the dark.

My kids think I turn every conversation into a probate lesson 😅

Honestly… they may be right.

But after working with families going through probate, trust administration, and estate issues, I’ve realized something:

Most people aren’t prepared for how confusing this process can be until they’re suddenly in the middle of it.

That’s why I try to explain these topics in plain English — without the overwhelming legal jargon.

So now I want to hear from you:

What probate or estate planning topic would you like me to break down next? 👇

One typo in a will can change everything.

We see these mistakes happen more often than people realize and the consequences can be devastating.

A simple drafting error can:
❌ Delay probate for months or years
❌ Cost families thousands in legal fees
❌ Create family conflict
❌ Send assets to the wrong beneficiary

These mistakes are known as “Scrivener’s Errors,” and they often happen because people sign estate planning documents without carefully reviewing the details.

Before signing your will or trust, double-check:
✔ Names
✔ Addresses
✔ Beneficiaries
✔ Property descriptions
✔ Distribution instructions

One small mistake today can become a massive legal problem tomorrow.

Families don’t usually fall apart overnight.
Sometimes it starts with one signature.

One sibling takes Dad to sign a Power of Attorney.
Another believes Dad was manipulated… so they rush to get a new one signed revoking the first.

Now the family is in a full tug-of-war over:

Dad’s care
Dad’s money
And who gets control

Meanwhile, Dad is stuck in the middle while the fighting escalates.

When families can’t agree, the court may have to step in to decide:
✔ Which Power of Attorney is valid
✔ Who should make decisions
✔ Whether guardianship is necessary

These situations are emotional, expensive, and more common than people realize.

👇 Have you ever seen a family fight over an aging parent’s care?
