Regardless of if you’re just starting to think about it or are a few years into running your own law practice, it’s important to have the right tools behind your solo venture.

In this blog post, I discuss why Calendly and automated scheduling is essential for any solo lawyer out there.

Hiring an estate planning attorney can be a daunting task for anyone, even for experienced lawyers like me.

In this blog post, I go over what you can expect from working with a Louisiana estate planning lawyer - from start to finish.

Feedback is one of the most important parts of client collaboration.

Not only is it important to receive insight, but it’s key to make sure the feedback process is an easily accessible part of the client experience.

After welcoming several new clients this year, I’ve been eager to hear about their experience with my estate planning services.

Which got me thinking.

I always remind you that estate planning is way more than a will. 

However, a will is one of the most important documents that you can have in your estate plan. 

Did you know that nearly 65% of all Louisianans currently do not have a written will of any kind? 

Are you someone who doesn’t have a will?  While you’re not alone, there is something you should know:

A handwritten will in Louisiana is totally valid! 

When it comes to estate planning, there is no crystal ball.

No matter how hard we try, there is no way to predict the future.

Then why bother with estate planning at all, right? Respectfully, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

An estate plan is way more than a will.  

When many people think about estate planning, they think about a will.

While speaking to new clients,  I’ve learned that many people seem surprised that an estate plan is actually a collection of legal documents that work together to effectively transfer your property to the next generation.

One of my biggest goals as an estate planning lawyer is to make sure that my clients understand what they are signing.

I don’t expect them to know it well enough to write a dissertation on it. That’s my job, after all. But I want my clients to feel ownership over these documents. I want them to feel confident in their decisions.

Should I include funeral instructions in my estate plan?

I often see “funerary instructions” as something to include in your will or as part of the documentation that resides in a safety deposit box. 

Due to the potential expense involved in most funeral arrangements, I strongly suggest setting some time aside to get your game plan in order.  Not only will this put your mind at ease, but it will also alleviate the stress of your loved ones and potentially save you, your family, and your estate, thousands of dollars.
