End-of-Year Reality Check - Family Law Planning
So, Black Friday is here. Everyone's shopping. Everyone's got their carts full. And I'm over here like... you know what else you should add to your to-do list before the year ends?
Getting your legal stuff in order.
I know, I know. Not as exciting as a good sale. But hear me out.
Black Friday Weekend Reality Check
Black Friday hits and suddenly it's like, "Wait, where did November go?" And then you blink and it's the 29th and you're thinking about 2026 already. Time is wild.
Here's the thing though: if you've been putting off stuff like wills, prenups, or estate planning, the end of the year is actually perfect timing. Not because it's Black Friday (it's not about the deals, I promise). But because you've got maybe 5 weeks left in 2025 to actually get it done before the January madness hits.
Why the End of the Year Actually Works
Look, I get it. Legal stuff sounds boring. It sounds complicated. It sounds like something you'll do "eventually."
But here's the reality: January through March in family law is absolute chaos. Everyone's making New Year's resolutions about getting their life together, and suddenly everyone wants consultations at the same time. If you wait until then, you're fighting for appointments.
If you do it now? We've got time. You've got time. It's actually way less stressful.
What Needs to Happen Before 2026 (If You Want)
Update your will? If you've had life changes (new kids, got married, got divorced, moved) your will probably needs updating.
Thinking about getting married in 2026? Now's the time to have the prenup chat. Before the wedding planning chaos hits.
Separating from your spouse? A separation agreement makes everything way clearer.
Have kids and no guardianship plan? Yeah, that's worth doing.
Just want to make sure your family knows what to do if something happens? Estate planning is literally just you making a plan. That's it.
Why We're Remote (And Why That's Awesome)
You've probably noticed we work from home. No fancy office downtown. No waiting rooms. Just actual attorneys who answer emails and get stuff done.
That means you can work with us from anywhere. You don't have to take time off work to sit in an office waiting room. You can literally do a consultation from your couch if you want. And honestly? It makes everything way more accessible and way less stressful.
The End-of-Year Timeline (If You're Interested)
You've got about 5 weeks. That's actually enough time to:
Have a consultation
Figure out what you actually need
Get documents drafted
Sign everything before the holidays
Then boom. You go into 2026 with your stuff handled. No stress. No wondering. Just peace of mind.
How to Make This Happen
If this sounds like something you want to do, schedule a consultation.Tell us what you need. We'll figure out if it's doable before the year ends and go from there.
No pressure. No judgment. Just an actual conversation about what makes sense for your situation.
And hey, if you decide to do it later in January, that's cool too. But if you want to start 2026 with this handled? Now's actually a good time.
