Charging stations & Estate Plans – Part 2 By: Caroline Bielas, 8/16/2017
After seeing how cool the charging station was, I of course had to order
one for my home. I went on Amazon and
ordered one right away. I didn’t check
to see if it was the same one, it looked like it so I figured it was fine. When I took it out of the box and plugged it
in, I was baffled. There were no
charging cords for the different kinds of phones. I didn’t read the fine print to see that the
model that I had ordered didn’t come with cords, the cords were sold
separately. In order to make it work, I
had to place two more orders – one for iPhone cords and one for Android cords. I didn’t feel so great about my charging
station after placing those orders. Yes,
it does what I want it to do and it is helpful.
I just didn’t like feeling like I paid for one thing and then got
something that I had to pay more for to have it work the way I wanted. more
Charging stations & Estate Plans – Part 1 By: Caroline Bielas, 7/26/2017
Recently,
I discovered that my mom had bought a charging station for her house for guests
to use. What a great thing! Especially since either I or one of my kids usually
have the dreaded low battery flashing on our phones while at her house. The charging station
has cords for all of the different types of phones and tablets, how convenient! Anyone that has ever had to endure a long
car ride with kids who cannot use their phone or tablets because they killed
the battery knows how nice it is to have the opportunity to charge it before
leaving Grandma’s!

Estate Planning and The Holidays Part 1 By: Caroline Bielas, 12/21/2016
Isn’t it funny how the holidays can make us all feel like kids again? When it comes to holiday joy, the suspense of opening that special gift, or the warm feelings we get when surrounded by our loved ones – the holidays can be a big positive. When it comes to feelings of dread over seeing a certain family member, or guilt over not being able to visit our family members, or sibling rivalries resurfacing – the holidays can be a big negative. more
Dirty Deeds - Part 2 By: Caroline Bielas, 1/15/2014
Legal Services plans provide discounted or free legal services to their members. In our practice, we see many clients who have availed themselves of free or low-cost estate planning services through legal services plans. A recurring issue that we have seen in legal services planning and in older estate plans done by attorneys who do not specialize in estate plans is the "record it later” deeds. The attorney drafts the deed either transferring the home into the client’s trust or to children upon the client’s death, but tells the client not to have the deed recorded until "later”. Usually this means that the client’s heirs will record the deed after the client dies. more

Dirty Deeds - Part 1 By: Caroline Bielas, 8/20/2013
Real property ownership is evidenced by deeds and property ownership transfers through deeds. That much is easy to understand. Drafting property deeds is easy too. One just looks up a quit claim deed form on the internet, enters property information, slaps on $1 consideration and it’s good to go! Right? Wrong! more
The Wealth Counselor - Three Simple Ways to Sell Complex Solutions By: Michael Hickox, 6/1/2013
When it comes to financial and wealth planning issues, more often than not, people go to a professional they trust. They may be working with a financial planner, CPA, agent, or banker, but when trust and estate concerns arise, clients need their trusted advisor to listen to their needs and to explain things clearly. Trust and estate concerns are often technical issues, and this can lead to three common mistakes on the part of the professional: more
