don't Make These 5 Common Mistakes Before Filing Bankruptcy.
When Bankruptcy Is a Smart Financial Move
most people see bankruptcy as a last resort — something to avoid at all costs. But in reality, bankruptcy isn’t about failure. It’s about strategy and resetting your financial life when debt has spiraled beyond control. In some cases, filing for bankruptcy is not only smart — it's the most financially responsible decision you can make.
Does Getting a Document Notarized Make It "Legal"?
the public's perception of what a notary does and what notarization accomplishes is often incorrect. This is particularly the case when a person brings a document to a notary public to be notarized, thinking that the notarization will in some way "legalize" the document or make it "official."

Unmarried? You Are Not Alone, But You Still Need a Plan
did you know that in many instances, it is even more important that a single person have a well-coordinated estate plan, than a married couple. This is because the default laws governing estates often work poorly for people without a spouse and may not adequately provide for a significant other or unmarried partner. Having a cohesive and well-drafted estate plan will ensure that you protect and provide for those you truly care about upon your death. Learn more here.
When an Adult Needs a Guardian of Property
there are two types of guardianships: a guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the property (also known as a guardianship of the estate or a conservatorship).

How the Law Can Fail Some Marriages
there are people who think that when they die while married, that everything they own will automatically go to their spouse or children.

In legal terms, this is referred to as “intestate.” Here are some situations of how the laws can fail many common family situations.
Before You Get Sued, Read This!

Why Our Protection is Ours to Mold
while most truly wealthy professionals & business owners make high incomes, it’s how they mold a protective shield around their money that makes and keeps them firmly in their category.
