Whether you're an everyday family or a business owner, we're here to make sure nothing gets missed. And we're not a one-and-done firm. Life changes, and your plan should too. Butcher Elder Law is in this with you for the long run.

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Having a will in Ohio does NOT mean your estate avoids probate.

Many families believe that if they have a will, their loved ones will skip the court process. That's actually a common misconception.

A will guides the probate process — it doesn't bypass it. Ohio probate can take months (sometimes over a year) and involves court costs.

What CAN help your estate avoid probate:
✅ A properly funded Living Trust
✅ Joint ownership with right of survivorship
✅ Beneficiary designations on accounts and policies
✅ Transfer-on-Death designations

We cover all of this at our free workshop!

❌ MYTH: 'Estate planning is only for wealthy families.'

✅ REALITY: If you have a family, a home, or someone who depends on you — you have something worth protecting.

Estate planning isn't about how much you have. It's about what happens to the people and things you care about when you can no longer speak for yourself.

Without a plan, Ohio law makes the decisions. Courts decide. Family members disagree. The people you love are left dealing with the mess.

Our free workshop is the perfect first step — no matter where you're starting from.

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is a day to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to this country — and to hold close the families who carry that sacrifice with them every day.

At Butcher Elder Law, we're proud to serve veterans and their loved ones — helping protect the legacies of those who've given so much.

To all who are remembering someone today: we see you, and we're grateful.

📖 New on the blog: What to Do if You're Left Out of a Loved One's Probate

It's a situation that happens more often than people realize — and one of the most emotionally and legally complex places a family member can find themselves.

If you've recently learned you were excluded from a loved one's estate, there are specific steps you can take — but understanding your rights and your timeline is the critical first step.

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

In Ohio, your Power of Attorney becomes INVALID the moment you pass away.

The person you named as your POA agent immediately loses all authority at your death. After that point, the executor named in your Will takes over to manage and distribute your estate.

This is why having BOTH a Power of Attorney AND a properly drafted Will is so important — they cover two completely different stages of life.

Without one, the other can't do its full job.

Questions about how these documents work together? We cover all of this at our free workshops. 🔗 butcherelderlaw.com/estate-planning-workshops

❌ MYTH: 'I'm too young to need an estate plan.'

✅ REALITY: Estate planning isn't about age — it's about what you have and who you love.

If you own a home, have a bank account, have children, or have someone who depends on you — you need a plan. Full stop.

Life changes without warning. An estate plan isn't about expecting the worst — it's about being prepared so the people you care about are protected no matter what.

Our free workshop covers exactly where to start. No jargon, no pressure.

💡 New on the blog: How a Living Trust Protects Your Finances During Incapacity

Most people think of a Living Trust as a tool for avoiding probate after you pass away. But here's what fewer families know:

A Living Trust can protect your finances right now — while you're alive — if you ever become unable to manage them yourself.

No court. No delays. No frozen accounts. Just seamless management by the person you trust.
