You have to have a will. We'll work with you to create one now if you don't have one already. If you do have one, we'll review it to be sure it still reflects your changing financial, partnership and family circumstances. But remember: there are some things a will just can't do:

Who will make the decisions about your health if you are ill or incapacitated?
By default, this right goes to a blood relative unless you have a Medical Power of Attorney that designates a decision-maker.

What if you can't make business decisions?
Whether that's managing a company you own or signing the mortgage check for the beach house, the only way you can assure that the right person is allowed to act on your behalf is with a Durable Power of Attorney.

What if your partnership breaks up?
Married couples have divorce. You have nothing. Create a binding Partnership Agreement that identifies singly- and jointly-owned possessions, directs the disposition of significant assets such as real estate, and sets guidelines for dissolution of the relationship. If you don't have one, litigating these issues later, in the midst of a breakup, can be very difficult and expensive.
