While my profession is an attorney, my most important job is that of father to my daughters.
With the values that I place on my own family, the work I do in helping my clients and their families is reinforced.
I was born and raised in rural southern Iowa, where I met and married my high school sweetheart.
My parents were ideal role models with their strong work ethic.
My dad worked for a utility company as lineman for over 40 years, and also operated a farm as a "hobby" which became much more than that.

A Will is a legal document that you create during your life that controls certain matters after you die.
While it is not required that you have a will, they are numerous reasons why most individuals should have a will.
Regular surveys conducted by various organizations repeatedly reveal that half or more of the adult population in the United States does not have a will.
There are examples of numerous public figures that didn't have a will (for example, John Denver and Sonny Bono) and many others that had outdated wills or poor planning.

A trust instrument is basically a descriptive written plan which delays and controls the ultimate distribution and management of your assets.
After your death or incapacity, the person you designate as a trustee will carry out your written intentions.
If the beneficiaries of a plan need assistance with financial matters, due to either age issues, creditor issues, marital concerns or spendthrift risk, a trust is a mechanism that addresses that risk in order to preserve and protect the assets for the beneficiary, without placing the assets at risk.
