The holidays are how we "end" the year. But there's some legal stuff you need to take care of too before ringing in the New Year.
Life is exhausting.
But before you open the NYE champagne, spend some time thinking about the legal matters you should take care of this week (or as soon as possible):
1. Make a will or trust.
The last few years have certainly taught us that illness and death can strike anyone, at any time.
When you do pass away (it's guaranteed that will one day happen, although we hope it's not for quite awhile), a will or trust will make things easier for the ones you leave behind.
A will or trust makes your wishes clear about how you want to spend your last days, who you want to watch your children and how you want your property and money to be divided.
Our lawyers can help you figure out what type of estate planning is best for your situation. And we'll make sure the process is affordable, so you'll have some money to leave behind.
2. Double check what your custody agreement says about holidays.
There's a lot of disagreement about how to celebrate the holidays this year. Some people think there should be no mingling with others who you don't live with. Others believe there are safe ways to celebrate with people you don't share a home with.
If you and your ex have different ideas about how your child should spend the remainder of 2022, doublecheck what your custody agreement says about holidays and decision-making related to your child's health.
For an affordable price, one of our lawyers can help you figure out how the language in your agreement applies to these unprecedented times.
3. Make sure your business meets all year-end requirements.
If you own a business or are an executive at one, a lawyer can ensure you meet all year-end deadlines, including:
- Updating and filing ownership documents
- Reviewing loans, leases, benefit offerings and insurance policies
- Considering the implications of delaying tax payments or carrying them into the new year
The attorneys who work with LawChamps can help you wrap up your legal issues so we can enjoy a better and healthier 2023.
