What does a single woman need in terms of an estate plan? The short answer is the same as everyone else, a will or trust, financial and medical powers of attorney, and a living will. These documents are the foundations of any estate plan, but they can, and should be tailored to any person’s unique situation. Certainly single women have different life circumstances than a married woman or a single or married man.

The first, and to me the most obvious, thing to know is that if you get divorced, it is time to rewrite your trust! After a divorce, the last thing you want is for trust to remain the same. If you leave your trust the same, that could mean your ex spouse gets more assets after you die, and you likely do not want that to happen. Instead, re-writing your trust will get your assets to the correct people, not an ex-spouse.

Good morning (or good afternoon) and welcome along to The Athletic, and more specifically to our live coverage of Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

I drive a lot. I drive to meet clients at their home, or at an office near them in the Denver Metro and beyond, and I put about 30,000 miles per year on my car. I don’t mind doing this at all, as I enjoy working with clients and I want to make things convenient for them, but there is a lot of revving involved as a mobile estate planning attorney.

★★★★ (Mercury Rev), ★★★½ (Ride)As the mostly middle-aged audience took their seats for this double bill, several punters were overheard to declare they were "only here" for one band or the other. It's true that a Venn diagram of the subsequent performances by Ride, the Oxford shoegazers, and Mercury Rev, the dream poppers from Buffalo - their heydays 35 and 25 years ago respectively - would have few intersecting elements.

The short answer is probably not. I know people get really concerned about doing everything the right way, and I fully understand how people want to do things the right way, especially when it comes to legal matters, but jail usually isn’t the punishment if you happen to make some missteps in handling your Mom or Dad’s estate plan. There are a couple of ways you might end up in jail, but only if you move beyond making a mistake, and move more into nefarious or malevolent actions.

I try to help as many people as I can. I find that I can help most people. Sometimes I am not the best person to help someone – as is the case with people who came to me for help with an estate plan, but they were worth $150 Million. That number far exceeds the current Federal estate tax limit, and I really don’t handle , so I referred them to my friends who handle taxable estates.
