A financial expert explains why even young parents should have a will or trust.;
|
It's difficult enough for a Mom to think about dying, let alone wondering what will happen to her kids. However, in light of Matilda Rose's absence from Daddy Heath Ledger's will, Mom•Logic turned to probate attorney and Mom Moira Brennan for what Moms need to do now, in case of tragedy.
|
Finding a lawyer: While hiring a lawyer can be costly, Brennan recommends having a probate attorney work out your wishes if you own real property or have assets worth more than $300,000. The American Bar Association is one way to look for experienced and insured lawyers in your area. DIY trust kits often leave out important information, said Brennan.

As kids hit those not-so-sweet tween years, Moms search for answers to keep it together.
Somewhere between 8 and 13 years old, something takes over our children and they start acting like strangers who want nothing to do with us. Is there anything we can do about it, or is it just the way it is?
Mom•Logic friend and counselor, Rosanne Tobey offer some expert tips on how to maintain closeness:
