Should Your Adult Child Now be Named as Executor of Your Will?

If you have a Last Will and Testament that was created before your child turned 18 years old, you may now want to consider updating it. Updating a will can be done by either 1) having a new will that takes the place of the old one; or 2) doing a "codicil" which is a specifically worded and witnessed legal document that attaches to the current will.

Taking the time to create a plan for your family is very important. It is even more important in stepfamilies.

Thinking About Writing on Your Original Will? Don’t do it!

September 18, 2019 By Kalish Law Office

Writing on your original will can invalidate the entire document. It doesn’t matter if you initial next to what you have written.  Some people feel that once the document is signed and notarized they can feel free to make changes themselves. This is not true.  Keep your original document safe, clean and dry. Don’t eat near it, set a coffee cup on it, get it wet, or jot notes on it. And it is … [Read more...] about Thinking About Writing on Your Original Will? Don’t do it!

Here's some background- I'm the father of 2 fantastic kids, who’s mother is in law enforcement. I came to Sio desperate for help to modify my standard custody order in MoCo- seeking more time with my kids, more decision making authority, and the ability to hold my ex accountable to making choices that will benefit our kids and give them everything that they deserve.As a father, nobody believed this was possible. I had friends and family tell me I didn’t stand a chance. I even consulted with a different attorney once who refused my case, claiming fathers only win if there’s abuse or drugs involved. Then I found Sio…From day 1, Sio treated me as a parent- not “just a father”. Though she acknowledged that my case would be a battle, she never doubted what I was fighting for. Sio and her team were understanding and patient throughout this stressful time in my life, and took their time to help me understand the complicated family court processes. In the end, she DELIVERED. I was able to creatively modify my custody order to provide an arrangement that will truly serve my children.If you’re a good father looking to provide a good life for your kids, call Sio

Kalish Law was a big help not only in aiding in the preparation to sell a business, but also with making sure all the dots were crossed for our estate planning needs. They make sure you understand everything and exhibit a true desire to make sure they have taken care of your legal needs. I recommend them highly!

Firm handled wills for my husband and me -they were knowledgable and answered all our questions very patiently. Bob Kalish and his team also advised us on need for durable power of attorney and guided us through the process of considering end of life issues such as DNR. Overall, very pleased with the service, the turnaround time for our documents was excellent and they were prepared exactly as we wanted.

I don't recommend Kalish Law to represent you in your divorce hearing. My case was dismissed for numerous reasons. Paperwork not being filed on time, and a missed notary seal. I never once received in a yr and half an invoice. After requesting a refund, her team sent me a bill for almost 8k! DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM! My money was completely wasted. Oh let us not forget my child support was also dismissed as well. AGAIN DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!

I used Kalish Law Services I believe a year or two ago. Sio, represented me during my child support/visitation with the father of my children that was highly difficult. She discussed all the possibilities and was very explanatory on how the process would go. She was straight forward and to the point. No time wasted. I was very pleased in how my experience went with everything and the great communication sio and her staff had with me. I would use their services again if the opportunity did arise. I do highly recommend them. They are so great.

Sio has been representing me for the past year and a half. She has been understanding and has truly gone above and beyond for me and my children. I would highly recommend her for any family court cases you may have going on. Sio is the best when it comes to standing up and defending her clients. Her assistants Ann and Myrna have also been wonderful answering all of my questions and emails right away. Thank you guys so much!
