This week is National Assisted Living Week, and the theme is "Shining Through the Years."
We work with a lot of families in that season — the one where a parent moves into assisted living and everyone suddenly has questions about paying for it, protecting what they've saved, and who's allowed to make decisions.

If you're in it right now, know this: the caregivers in those communities do work most people never see. To every aide, nurse, and activities director in South Georgia — thank you.
And if your family is navigating the legal side of that move, we're here.

National Preparedness Month means getting ready for hurricane season in South Georgia, but it’s important to be prepared for big waves that impact your estate. We encourage you to sign up for one of our free workshops covering the 7 threats to your estate.

If you've already done your planning, this is a good week to pull the folder out and read through it. Marriages, new grandbabies, a move, a sold business — any of that can knock a plan out of date without you noticing. If something's changed since you signed, give us a call and we'll sort out what needs updating. (229) 207-0850

Thinking about gifting money or property to your kids or grandkids? The rules around gift tax and Medicaid planning are often confused — and mixing them up can be costly. In my latest article, I break down the annual gift tax exclusion, the lifetime exemption, and why a gift that's perfectly fine for tax purposes can still create a Medicaid penalty.
