We are open for appointments for all of your estate planning, real estate and small business needs. We now offer virtual /zoom appointments as well as in person appointments. So give us a call – the mini loaves are calling your name.

Did you know that June is National Alzheimer’s month? Loving someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be difficult especially when they no longer remember who you are.

To help you better understand the seven stages of Alzheimer’s, check out our latest blog post. In this post, we illustrate the seven stages of Alzheimer’s disease through the eyes of seven fictional characters.

Do not wait until you are in a position where you can no longer make medical decisions on your behalf. You need to have a Health Care Power of Attorney in place BEFORE you need it. Otherwise, it may be too late.

Did you know that summer can be a great time to sell your home? Buyers with children want to purchase a home before school starts.

Yes, this has been a great market for sellers. But, it never hurts to increase your odds of selling your home. We found these six tips for selling your home in the summer. We cannot emphasize curb appeal enough. Think about it. Your front lawn is the first thing a potential buyer notices.

Are you thinking about buying a home? You need to make sure you find a great real estate closing attorney. And who better to assist you then Kristen Mackintosh, the Happy Lawyer. Where else can you get hands on service, home baked cookies and a box of baked goods at your closing???
