So my intent was to have a new post every Monday. Best laid plans, right? But, our family has grown in the last two months. We have a son now, and he's done a great job of consuming most of my time outside of work.
What does this have to do with blog posts, outside of being my excuse for a lack of productivity? It's a good opportunity to remind folks that there are big life events that should be triggers for either having estate planning completed, or having an existing estate planning reviewed. In my opinion, those events are:
1) Marriage or divorce;
2) The birth of a child;
3) Retirement;
4) Attainment of age 70 1/2;
5) Occurrence of an unexpected health problem.
Other attorneys may have additional times that they consider good for reexamining estate plans, but these are easy to remember, because most folks will experience most, if not all, of these life events. When one of these happens, take some time to schedule an appointment with an estate planning attorney.
So, from here on, I will endeavor to make more regular blog posts -- but I'm going to stop short of weekly guarantees. Let's just make it something to strive for. The best way to know will be to sign up for our mailing list on the right-hand side of this blog -- don't worry, we won't inundate you with emails.

New Year, More Posts!
My blog posts haven't been as consistent as I'd hoped -- and that's being generous. However, from here on, I'll be putting up a new post each Monday about elder law, Medicaid, and estate planning issues. If you read this blog, and you have something related to these areas you'd like to see discussed, send me an email and I will do my best to address it in the next post. Stay tuned!
