I can’t believe it’s May this week! We are over the April showers and ready for the May flowers! With the warm weather finally coming, we started planting flowers this weekend. It was great to be outside and we took a much-needed trip to the park! 

Mondays for Moms: If your elderly parents don’t have an estate plan in place - or it’s been a while since they had it reviewed - we are here for them. The best way to get your parents to do their estate planning, is to do your own and explain why you are choosing to protect your family. It’s definitely easier when you do it together.

Thank you for the Five Star Review!

"I had no idea how to go about dealing with my elderly in-laws and their retirement/golden days. Melissa was amazing in terms of openness and availability. She took care of their estate planning and wills. My wife and I are using her for ours as well. Can’t put a price on peace of mind that our kids will be taken care of. Throughout the process she always answered the phone when we called and often would call to update us without being asked." Matty V.

WEEKLY FAQ: Why shouldn't I do estate planning myself? 

In doing this full time, every day and going through the ins and outs with a lot of families, what I can tell you for sure is that there are questions you would not have even known to ask. That's really actually the most common feedback from clients and from those who attend our free talks and webinars, is that they had to think through things that they hadn't even thought about before, and that they were really comforted in knowing that those questions were explored, and that those answers were ultimately put into their estate plans. So that way everything is covered, no stone goes unturned, as what one client actually said about our process.  I really encourage you to take the approach of its really about the professional advice and the real peace of mind you get by sitting down and talking through questions. It's not just a matter of signing a document. If that's all it was, I would send you to LegalZoom, but there's really a whole lot more to your future, your children's future and your legacy than just a fill in the blank document. To learn more about our process, and how we approach estate planning from a place of heart, schedule a complimentary call with The Law Office of Melissa L.
