- In order to do Estate Planning properly, can involve a significant investment of time and resources. But at times, that is not always possible. For example, when a loved one is seriously ill or incapacitated. Fortunately, there are options, even if no prior documents exist. , Author, Estate Planning in an Emergency, The Lynch Law Group - Legal News, 2023
- When writing a Last Will and Testament (“Will”), there is an important thing to be aware of: making sure that your Will is able to grow and change with you to allow for all of life’s possibilities. When you and your attorney draft a Will, it is impossible to predict what may happen in the future — but it is not impossible to plan for that future. , Author, Estate Planning from A-Z, The Lynch Law Group - Legal News, 2023
- There is a potential update to the SECURE Act on the horizon that could have a big impact on your retirement plans. Congress may often seem slow to act, but several laws have been proposed and passed, and they could affect you. We are always on the lookout for prospective laws that could impact your planning goals. In 2019, Congress passed the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019, or the SECURE Act, intended “to encourage retirement savings.” On March 29, 2022, the House passed the bill, The Securing a Strong Retirement Act of 2021, commonly referred to as the SECURE Act 2.0. If this bill becomes a law after passing through the Senate and President’s desk, its many changes to the original SECURE Act may change how you should handle your retirement plans., Co-Author, SECURE Act 2.0: How It Could Affect Your Retirement Plans, The Lynch Law Group - Legal News, 2022
