Think a godparent automatically gets custody or inheritance rights?
Not necessarily.
A godparent designation is typically a personal or religious role—not a legal one.

A friend walked up to me at a dinner party :
"I watched your video on unclaimed property. I followed the process and I'm getting $1,300 back."
Have you checked your state's unclaimed property database lately?
💰 You might be surprised by what you find.

✈️ Traveling overseas?
Don't just bring your passport. Consider making sure your healthcare directive and powers of attorney are accessible in case of a medical emergency abroad.
A little preparation can go a long way.

5 things that are illegal after someone dies:
Using their debit card
Taking jewelry because "they wanted me to have it"
Hiding a will
Selling the house too soon
Thinking a will avoids probate
Most families don't know this.

Your Will doesn't always win.
A beneficiary designation, joint account, trust, or Lady Bird Deed can override your estate plan if everything isn't coordinated.
Watch before you assume your Will controls everything.

🚨 Signature Myth Alert 🚨
You do NOT have to sign legal documents in blue or black ink.
In most situations, you can sign in any color, use a mark, or even a thumbprint.

⚠️ Waiting could cost you your inheritance.
If a trustee, executor, conservator, or guardian has taken money, hidden information, or violated their duties, every day matters. Money gets moved. Records disappear. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to recover what's yours.

Your estranged child may inherit the SAME as the child who cared for you every day.
That’s how intestate succession works when there’s no will.
Most families find out too late.
Create a plan before the state creates one for you.

“Let’s throw some asphalt in the hole… the citizens will flatten it out.” 😂🚧
So now every driver that hits it sounds like:

If I were president, using my car as paving equipment would become federally illegal immediately 😭🚗

The #1 reason people fire their lawyer?
Poor communication.
Before hiring an attorney, ask:
“How often will we communicate during my case?”
Clear expectations upfront can save you stress later.

One typo in a will can ruin an inheritance.
A simple “Scrivener’s Error” can:
❌ Delay probate
❌ Cost families thousands
❌ Send assets to the wrong person
Before signing your estate plan, review every detail carefully.

Dad became the center of a family tug-of-war.
One sibling got a Power of Attorney signed.
Another rushed to revoke it with a new one.
Now the court has to decide:
Who controls Dad’s care?
These family battles happen more often than people realize.

After tens of thousands of probate cases, one pattern is clear:
When families are surprised after a death, grief often turns into betrayal, and betrayal turns into litigation.
Talk to your family.

You might have money sitting with the state right now and not even know it.
Old checks, forgotten accounts, refunds, and dormant assets can end up in your state’s unclaimed property database.
Most never check.
Search your name. It takes a few minutes. 💰

Hot take:
Not everyone should be a leader.
Social media convinced people that being “the boss” is the only thing that matters. But every successful business, family, and movement depends on great followers too.
Being dependable is underrated.
