Protecting Your Estate
The divorce rate in America has sat steady at just below 50 percent for decades now. From out of the troubling reality that almost every other marriage fails is the issue that comes with the rights that ex-spouses may have on marital assets after the divorce. Your family could end up missing out on assets and an inheritance due to a lack of careful estate planning.
