Graduation season is here 🎓

And there’s one thing almost no parent is thinking about…

The moment your child turns 18, you lose the legal right to make medical and financial decisions for them.

Even if:
✔️ They’re still on your health insurance
✔️ You’re paying their bills
✔️ They still live at home

In an emergency, you could be shut out of critical decisions.

Most families don’t find this out until it’s too late.

✅ Make sure your family is protected. Schedule a complimentary conversation with one of our attorneys to get the right documents in place before your child turns 18.

According to a recent study, only 30% of Americans have wills, and less than 15% have a trust. To get a little more personal about how this affects us all, we'd like to take a moment to talk about Prince. Prince died intestate, meaning he was without a will. Because of this, his estate went through the probate process, causing a public legal battle lasting over six years.

While not all of us are Prince, we are people who need thoughtful plans for what happens next. We have multiple events these next few months with our attorneys, all of whom offer free consultations to avoid public legal disputes for those we love.

Join us at one of our upcoming events to learn more about estate planning options, (and maybe a few conversations about your favorite artists too!)

On Wednesday we asked: what happens if no one can step in to manage your finances?

If no one is legally able to manage your finances, your family may be left waiting, or forced into court.

Here’s how to prevent that:
✔ Name a trusted financial decision-maker
✔ Put the proper documents in place
✔ Make sure everything is current and accessible

Simple steps. Big impact.

A clear plan changes everything.

Want to make sure you’ve covered all the right pieces?

📨 Send us a DM to schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys and get clarity on where you stand.

What happens if you become incapacitated… and no one can legally manage your finances?

Bills still come due.
Accounts can be frozen.
And your family may have to go to court just to step in.

It’s a situation that adds stress to an already difficult time.

Check back Friday for a simple way to prevent it.
