How Does a Disability Trust Benefit You in Colorado?

I got a phone call from someone the other day asking about a disability trust.  The woman told me a long story about how her son was on the autism spectrum and was unable to handle school, life, or his own finances.  She took care of him and would always take care of him as long as she was alive, but she was also very concerned about who would care … [Read more...]

Why Your Estate Plan Will Work (in Colorado) Even If Someone Doesn’t Like It

My wife likes to talk about love languages, and how everybody’s love language can be different.  Some people want physical affection, while others prefer gifts, and still others want you to spend time with them.  I am not nearly as into the differences in love languages as she is, or as some people are, but I did get an interesting, almost … [Read more...]

How To Give Your House Away After You Die – Estate Planning 101 (or Maybe Even More Basic Than That)

For most people who own a home, the home is likely their largest, and most valuable asset.  If you purchased a home while you were young, and then paid off the home over time, then the home has likely appreciated in value, and your home is worth quite a bit.  When it comes time to pass the house on to your children, you want to pass along the home, … [Read more...]

How Do I Leave My Car to My Family After I Die?

I have several clients who restore old cars, usually classic cars, and then either keep them, or sell them to other collectors.  They often want to leave the car to their family and ask me, “How do I leave my car to my family after I die?”  These really are some neat cars, so I understand wanting to keep the cars in the family.  I have seen some … [Read more...]

Why It’s Vital To Have A Living Trust In Colorado

There are many reasons why a living trust is a good idea.  You may want to keep your assets out of probate.  You may want to provide for your minor children.  You may have property in multiple states.  You may be a blended family.  You may be taking advice from a television personality or financial person on television who tells you to have a … [Read more...]

Colorado Residents: Benefits Of Working With A Local Estate Planning Attorney

As I drive around the Denver Metro Area, I see the bumper stickers that say “Native” on them.  I have also seen variations that say “Not Native, But I Got Here As Quick As I Can,” or “Almost Native.”  I fall into the “Not a Native, But I Got Here As Quick As I Can” category.  I was born in Portland, Oregon, and I lived there with my family for … [Read more...]

Didn’t You Get The Memo? Leaving Specific Gifts for Specific People in Your Estate Plan

It’s December, and many of us are thinking about giving gifts.  I have started asking my children what they want as gifts for Christmas presents, and they are thinking about it.  Even harder than that, I am trying to figure out what to ask for as a Christmas present for myself.  I tend to purchase what I need or want as the need comes up, so when … [Read more...]

What is the difference between doing your Estate Plan Online and using an Estate Planning Attorney?

In the time that I have been working as an estate planning attorney, I have seen a lot of online options to set up an estate plan appear.  Some of these websites are free, some are services you pay for, but all of them seem to have the same thing in common: Online services are mostly self-help services that help you create your own will or other … [Read more...]

Do I Need An Estate Plan, Will, Or Trust?

I refer to myself as an estate planning attorney, and I prepare estate plans.  Oftentimes I will be asked what that means, and I explain that I help people prepare their will, trust, financial power of attorney, medical power of attorney, living will, or other documents related to the end of life.  People either understand my further explanation, … [Read more...]

Wills vs. Trusts Compared Side by Side (My 100th Blog)

The most common question that I get in my law practice is what is the difference between a will and a trust?  I really do wish the question is simple and easy, and perhaps someday I will be able to come up with a satisfying answer that only takes a minute or two.  In my experience, the answer to this question can be quite complex, as you can see … [Read more...]
