Heidi is awesome! She is so supportive and knowledgeable. My mom, my husband and I have all used her services, and I would recommend her to anyone!

~ Ava E

Heidi was highly recommended to us as an estate lawyer, and we couldn't be happier in choosing Heidi to set up a trust plan for us. Though professional, she's warm and friendly, making the entire process stress free, explaining everything in terms that were easy for us to understand. She was very thorough and addressed and answered all our concerns.

ASK HEIDI: Do I need to change my will and beneficiary designations after I divorce if I want my ex-spouse to still inherit as if we were married?

 Short Answer:  Yes, divorce does void beneficiary designations as well as will provisions.

Divorce Changes Your Will

Ask Heidi

Why it’s Important:  If you want your ex-spouse to still to inherit in your estate as it was written when you were married, this needs to be addressed again after your divorce.  If you do not update the Estate documents, your estate will be deemed intestate even though you have a will.  The state will distribute your assets and family that you may not have a relationship with will end up with assets you fully intended to go to a former spouse.
