We hope you find this information useful and informative, but it is not the same as legal counsel. A free website is ultimately worth everything it costs you; you rely on it at your own risk. This website and any other website on this legal topic do not substitute face-to-face legal advice with an attorney.
Good legal advice includes a review of all the facts of your situation, including many that may at first glance seem to you not to matter. The plan it generates is sensitive to your goals and wishes while taking into account an array of laws, rules, and practices, many not published online. We encourage you to speak with an attorney at The Law Firm of Rubinstein, Zeh and Associates today to help resolve any legal issues you and your family may be facing.
