After divorce, regardless of which spouse earns more, an equal share of the assets are divided, with alimony considerations. In financially lopsided marriages where one of the spouses is uncomfortable with that reality, a prenuptial agreement is highly advisable. #EqualShare #prenup #PrenuptialAgreement #FamilyLaw #FamilyAttorney #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

While trusts are effective for estate planning, they are also a vital asset protection tool (especially during the property owner's lifetime). Consult an estate planning attorney for clarity on the most important issues to consider while creating a trust. #TrustTheProcess #AssetProtectionTrust #EstatePlanningAttorney #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

When it comes to prenuptial agreements, we sometimes need to be somewhat of an oracle to navigate potential tax traps. It isn't so clear whether taxation on alimony or any other payments will change over the course of a marriage. Once in a while it pays to review those agreements and validate them. #prenup #taxation #alimony #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

Marital suspicions lead some people to drastic measures. Even if you intend to collect evidence, you may not claim 'carte blanche' to install a recording device just anywhere. Don't take such measures without consulting. You might be doing more harm to your case than good. #MaritalDisputes #Evidence #FamilyLaw #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

If you're planning on moving to a different state while in the midst of a custody dispute, it's important to tread lightly. The law is always on the side of the parent who is remaining in the child's home base. #TreadLightly #CustodyDispute #FamilyLaw #FamilyAttorney #CustodyAndVisitation #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

When losing a loved one, it's not uncommon for the the probate process to be contested by a disgruntled heir. While it may seem easy to bury your head in the sand, rather than engage in a highly emotional family dispute (on the heels of a painful loss, no less!), don't take what seems to be the easy way out. Fight for what's yours, you'll be happy you did. #ContestedProbate #probate #ProbateAttorney #Inheritance #WillsAndTestaments #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

Informal custody agreements seem like the most preferable, but in divorces, it's very common for an about-face (mind change) to derail prior arrangements. It's important to retain counsel even in a relatively amicable divorce. #AboutFace #custody #divorce #FamilyLaw #FamilyAttorney #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

Can the executor be held accountable for assets in the estate being damaged or suffering a steep depreciation in value? It is an executors job to ensure the best interests of beneficiaries and creditors. If they fail, they can be subject to legal action. #WhoIsAccountable #FiduciaryDuty #Executor #ExecutorOfAnEstate #probate #EstatePlanning #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

Hesitating to file a divorce can get you stuck behind the eight ball (at a disadvantage) when trying to move on. The faster you act, the higher the probability of closure and the ability to move on. #BehindTheEightBall #Divorce #FamilyLaw #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices

Assigning guardianship should be taken very seriously by any parent of minor children. If the unthinkable happens and you become incapacitated, or worse, don't be victimized by a potentially inadequate court decision. Make sure you assign guardianship to whomever *you* see fit, don't leave anything to chance. #DontBeVictimized #guardianship #EstatePlanning #probate #YangLawOffice #YangLawOffices
