Heidi is the best !! After the birth of my daughter, all my priorities changed, of course, and she helped me through all the new "adulting" I needed to do! She made it super easy to talk about some difficult subjects and I never once felt uncomfortable. We actually shared a few laughs and I'm appreciative of that. We went through everything from advanced directives, trust planning, and wishes I had for my family in any event that I would be unable to care for them. Like I said, it's some tough stuff to face for some of us, but I am so appreciative for her services . The peace of mind I have now is priceless ! Thank you Heidi !!

Heidi Webb is a respectable attorney who represented me outstandingly well in my case. In my opinion, I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for someone to represent them in any difficult and delicate case. She did an excellent job communicating with me and listening to my concerns. She represented me well and treated me and my family very fairly. She was very understanding and helped me get through some of my most difficult times. I love the fact that she advised me very well, explained every detail with my case, often asked about the well being of my children, and informed me with key details throughout the entire process of my case. With Heidi, I felt very comfortable knowing she was in my corner and had no concerns losing her as a professional and family friend. I am so happy on how we finally settled on my case and feel a huge sense of relief and happiness. Thank You Heidi

beneficiary on your retirement account

Why You Should Change the Beneficiary on your Retirement Account

This is an important question I am asked by clients and the answer may surprise you.

Why do I have to change my beneficiary on my retirement account? Can’t I just name a beneficiary in my Will for this money?

Answer: Beneficiaries listed on retirement accounts override any direction in an Estate Plan. For example, if you get divorced and remarry but fail to put spouse number two as the beneficiary on your retirement account and you list them in the Will to receive this money.  Depending on the type of plan there is a VERY strong possibility that the retirement money goes to the individual listed as the beneficiary —eek! Your EX-wife.  Imagine the mess that would leave after you pass.

This scenario is one example of why it is critical to work with an Estate Planning Attorney to put your plan in place. Using a professional pays off in so many ways and will provide peace of mind that your wishes are correctly drafted so your wishes can be followed after you pass.
