How Do I Talk to My Parents About Estate Planning?

If you have a parent over the age of, say, 65, thoughts about their future may have started to creep into your mind. But because end-of-life planning can be emotional and overwhelming, it’s tempting to put these conversations off — and even more pleasing to avoid them altogether. If there’s a lesson to be learned from the pandemic, however, it’s that waiting until the last minute to prepare is seldom a good idea.

Why Not Have a Will?

What Is a Trust and How Does It Work?

Trusts are often associated with the rich. However, the uber-wealthy are not the only people who can benefit from using trusts. There is no minimum asset level or net worth required to set up a trust, and you can put any amount of money into a trust.

Can I Add Children’s Names to my House Deed?

It’s true that if your child is on your deed as a joint tenant on your home, your home will not have to go through probate if your child survives you. At your death, your surviving child would immediately become the sole owner of your home without probate and with minimal transfer costs.

Cryptocurrency and Estate Planning: What Executors Need to Know

My dad is investing in cryptocurrency! I know nothing about it and, frankly, I am not interested in learning. I think it is a passing fad. When he dies and I am responsible for the distribution of his estate to my siblings, do I need to address the crypto?

This office is quite wonderful and Tia is the best! Before I contacted Tia, I felt as if I was out of options and there wasn't anything I could do.

Jennifer L Vaughn

I have to say I’ve dealt with a few lawyers over the years, however most of the time, they are too busy and do not necessarily give you the time, that may be needed to go over everything. Mr. Lee Shaw, well he was willing to go the extra mile for me. He took the time to go over every single detail in arranging mine and my mothers wills, and also the POA for my mom and her estate. His staff especially Shannon, is fantastic, very amiable and astute! If I could give more stars I absolutely would, 5 stars is not enough!!
