5 Costly Mistakes to Avoid Before Filing Bankruptcy
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." Learn more here.
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). A guardian of the person is responsible for the ward’s physical safety and well-being. A guardian of the property is responsible for the ward’s money and assets. Learn more here.

Yours, Mine and Ours: Blended Family Estate Planning
apart from the day-to-day challenges, blended face additional hurdles when addressing their estate planning. It is estimated that more than half of U.S. families are remarried or re-coupled. If you are in this category and raising a blended family like I am, here are six pointers for protecting your family and your assets.
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. What may be the case is that they are thinking of state rules that apply if someone dies without leaving a will. 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!
at the heart of asset protection, it isn't just about moving money or creating complex legal structures, but taking practical, proactive steps to mitigate risk. As an attorney who has seen firsthand the damage that lawsuits can inflict on unprepared individuals, I want to emphasize a critical yet often overlooked step in protecting your assets: obtaining sufficient insurance coverage before a lawsuit ever becomes a reality. You don’t anticipate getting sued, but life is unpredictable. Learn more here.
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. They have found a way to mold the clay they were given, become rich and stayed that way as a result of the shields of protection built into their estates. Learn more here.
Do you really NEED an estate plan?
whether you have significant wealth or not, an estate plan is essential. Don’t let the term “estate” mislead you. An estate isn’t reserved for the ultra-wealthy or those with vast assets. A solid estate plan doesn’t just help you—it’s an act of care for your family. Learn more here.
