Estate Planning

When you’re focused on building a bright future for your family, estate planning might seem like a task for another day. But the reality is, every day brings new uncertainties, and having a solid plan in place is essential to protecting your loved ones and your legacy.

​

Why You Need a Will, Even If You Think You Don’t Have Much Yet

Many people assume that a will is only necessary for those with substantial assets. However, even if you’re just starting out, a will is crucial. It ensures that your wishes are honored and that your family is provided for according to your desires. Don’t wait until your assets grow—start planning now to safeguard your future and create a lasting legacy.

​

The Consequences of Dying Without a Will

Without a will, state laws will dictate how your assets are distributed. This process can be stressful, time-consuming, and may not align with your personal wishes. Avoid leaving your family’s future to chance. By creating a will, you take control of how your assets are managed and ensure that your family’s needs are met according to your preferences.

​

Ensuring Your Children Are Cared For

Your children’s well-being is paramount. A well-crafted estate plan allows you to appoint guardians who will care for your little ones if you’re no longer able to. This critical decision ensures that your children are looked after by individuals who share your values and who you trust completely. Take this important step now to protect your children’s future.

​

Planning for Blended Families

Blended families face unique estate planning challenges. To ensure fair distribution and address the needs of all family members, it’s essential to develop a comprehensive plan. Thoughtful planning can prevent conflicts and ensure that everyone involved is considered and protected.

Common Questions Families Ask About Wills and Estate Planning
  • What can I trademark?
    These are just a few examples: Name of a product Name of a signature service A business name Name of a membership program A trade name (i.e. your coined named) Your business' slogan or tagline Name of your podcast Name of your blog .... there's many things but hope this gives you an idea of intellectual property you may need to own! :-)
  • Why do I need to register my trademark?
    You trademark is an asset that can increase in value through the years resulting in wealth for you. The best way to secure and protect this asset is to obtain a federal registration. If you do not register your trademark, your rights only extend to your area. The benefits of registering your trademark include: Registered trademarks protect against federal registration of not only identical marks, but also confusingly similar marks Provides nationwide notice of ownership of the mark Protection throughout US, its territories and possessions Grants right to use R symbol and services as evidence of the valid and exclusive ownership of the mark. The legal right to sue in federal court Stops trademark infringing imports at the U.S. border
  • How long does the process take?
    From the filing of the application to receiving the registration certificate is typically between 12-18months. Sometimes, this process can take longer. Each trademark is different. The good news is that your security begins when the application is filed.
  • How do I know if I can register my trademark?
    We'll conduct a comprehensive trademark search and provide an opinion letter to identify any potential risk with your proposed trademark. While there is no guarantee, you will be able to make an informed decision based on our analysis of the strength of your trademark. In addition, we will identify whether your name, slogan, or logo is classified as a trademark before the search is conducted.
  • I received a cease and desist letter. Can you assist with that?
    Absolutely! If you've received a cease and desist letter, contact me immediately before responding.
  • Can I register my trademark if I have not launched?
    You sure can! There's an app for that. I will work with you to protect your mark even before you launch.
  • I've registered my business with my state. Does that mean I own the trademark?
    No. Simply registering your business with the Secretary of State does not give you trademark ownership. You will still need to get a federal registration if you want nationwide protection of your brand.
  • Should I register my trademark in the state where my business is located?
    It depends. What level of ownership are you seeking? A state trademark registration does not prevent competing brands from using your trademark in another state. A state registration also does not provide nationwide protection. A federal registration gives you the greatest protection.
