We Have A New Podcast!
Thomas of Vick Law, P.C. and Seth Wilson of Adler Attorneys have started a podcast/video series. We'll talk about life, law, technology and more. Check it out from time to time.
What Intestate Really Means


Dying without a will (dying intestate) or dying with an invalid will cause logistic problems, becoming financially and emotionally draining on the loved ones you have left behind. In the absence of a will to name an executor, the state will provide a list of people eligible to fill the role.
Understanding Benefits for Children with Special Health Care Needs



Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) can qualify for Medicaid and CHIP programs to provide medical and other assistance, usually based on family income or on their disabled status. Medicaid is better funded but is generally harder to qualify for.
How to Talk About Estate Planning with Your Family



Preparing for a successful transfer of wealth to your loved ones begins with a comprehensive estate plan. However, many of us often overlook the crucial part of communicating our estate plan to family and heirs. 
Appointing Your Legal Representative


If the coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything, it is that life is uncertain. Too many aging Americans found themselves with a life-threatening COVID-19 illness in 2020 without legal documents naming trusted love ones to make decisions for their well-being while they were incapacitated. 
Speaking Engagements
Generally speaking, when people know better, they do better. We want to provide resources and information to the community. If you would like for Thomas to come and speak at your group or organization, feel free to reach out to him directly at thomas@thomasvicklaw.org.
