Generation Law 101
It’s back-to-school season, and class is in session. In this issue of the Elder Law Minute, we look at one of the most important things your clients can do for their adult children. We also give you the answers to estate planning’s most pressing questions, so your clients can be prepared before it’s too late. There won’t be any quizzes, but these lessons will likely prove more useful than algebra ever was.

If your clients don’t have a power of attorney agent in place for their adult children, or they have yet to solidify an estate plan, our attorneys can help. Reach out anytime for help acing that final exam.

The office is abuzz with baby fever as Generation Law attorney Melissa Johnson welcomed her third child, Wilder, on July 20! He measured in at 20.5 inches and weighed 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Big brothers Remy and Oliver are happy to have their new baby brother home.

Melissa is a talented attorney, and we and our clients are fortunate to have her as part of our team. Welcome, Baby Wilder! We promise we won’t talk to you about estate planning until you’re crawling, at least. Because you’re never too young to make plans.

Where in the World Is Ben?
By foot, by sea and by bike, our founder, Ben Neiburger, is keeping busy with his race training. July and August have him competing in the Lake Zurich Triathlon , the Wauconda Triathlon , the Great Lake Plunge 4k swim in Evanston and the Ironman 70.3 in Old Orchard Beach, Maine . All of these races are leading up to the Big One in December: the Patagonman XTRI extreme triathlon in Patagonia. And as Patagonman gets closer, so does Ben’s 50 th birthday.
 
Follow Ben in his Generation Law-branded tri suit on Facebook , Twitter and LinkedIn as he continues his training, getting stronger, faster and probably sweatier.
