🎉 Fun Fact Friday

Did you know a fully developed hurricane can release more energy in a single day than hundreds of thousands of atomic bombs? 🌪️

Which is impressive...

But not nearly as impressive as a Louisiana family preparing for hurricane season.

Within 24 hours, we can:

✔ Buy enough snacks to survive until Mardi Gras
✔ Fill every gas can within a 20-mile radius
✔ Clear the bread aisle completely
✔ Convince ourselves we absolutely need a generator the size of a small power plant 😄

And somehow, every storm still leaves us asking:

"Did anybody freeze the gumbo?"

Happy Friday, Baton Rouge!

May your hurricane supplies stay organized, your freezer stay cold, and your weather apps stay boring. ❤️

Louisiana Executors: Don’t Ignore Creditors
Serving as a succession representative is not just about helping the family. In Louisiana, creditors have rights too.
If a loved one passes away owing money, the estate representative may be responsible for handling those debts properly. A recent court decision is a strong reminder that ignoring creditor claims can create serious problems, including possible personal liability.
Before you pay heirs, transfer property, or assume “the family comes first,” know what the law requires.

💔 Divorce Changes More Than Your Relationship

Divorce has a way of turning life upside down.

New address.
New routines.
New streaming passwords. 😅

But one thing many people forget to update?

Their estate plan.

If your ex is still listed as your executor, trustee, agent under your power of attorney, or beneficiary, your documents may not reflect the life you're living today.

Your estate plan should match your current wishes, not your old relationship status.

Because "it's complicated" might work on social media... but it's not a great estate planning strategy.

If you've experienced a divorce, it may be time for a review.

Are we there yet? No.

Are we there yet? No.

Are we there yet? No!

🤯 If you’ve been there, you know how irritating that conversation is.

Guess what?

It’ll be the same with probate if your folks didn’t plan.

Probate takes a long time ⏰. And usually, clients get pretty fed up with the process and start asking that question.

If your parents had a trust, you wouldn’t have to deal with probate.

And that’s all there is to it.

Fun Fact:

The inventor of the frisbee was eventually turned into a frisbee.

Seriously. 🥏

After Walter Morrison passed away, his ashes were turned into memorial frisbees for his family.

Which may be the most committed branding decision in history.

Happy Friday — and may your weekend adventures involve less paperwork and more sunshine. ☀️😄

Questions start flying:
“Where are the documents?”
“What happens next?”

The good news?
The right guidance can turn confusion into clarity—and help families move forward with a whole lot less stress.

Because no one wants a family meeting that feels like a detective series.
