“Insured and bonded” is more than a line on the side of a truck.

It matters because when you hire someone to work on your home, climb on your roof, or take on a job with real risk, you’re not just hiring their skill. You’re also relying on the protections behind their business.

That includes things like liability coverage, workers’ compensation, and errors and omissions insurance.

The cheaper option may look better upfront, but if that person gets hurt on your property or causes damage and has no coverage, the problem can become yours very quickly.

Before you hire someone, ask for proof of insurance. Ask what they carry. Ask whether they’re bonded.

That extra step can save you from a much bigger legal and financial mess later.

Planning for the future doesn't mean expecting the worst.

It means making sure the people you care about are protected if life doesn't go according to plan.

That's what estate planning has always been about: replacing uncertainty with clarity and giving your family one less thing to worry about.

Most family disagreements don't start because people don't care.

They start because everyone remembers a conversation differently, assumes something different, or simply doesn't know what was intended.

A clear plan helps everyone move forward with confidence instead of confusion.

Planty moved to the sunroom, so naturally the office needed a replacement.

Enter: Law Fern.

Named with help from my daughter, selected with help from my wife, and now apparently judged by everyone who walks in and tells me ferns are difficult.

That information would have been helpful before I bought the fern, but here we are.

So far, Law Fern is thriving. Maybe it’s the sunlight. Maybe it’s the office environment. Maybe it’s all the good legal advice happening around him.

Either way, we’re tracking his progress.

Now I need to know: if Law Fern outgrows the office too, what plant comes next?

More money can mean more options.

But it can also mean more complexity.

As assets grow, estate planning becomes less about simply “who gets what” and more about making sure your plan still fits your current financial picture, tax exposure, family goals, and the laws in place today.

One issue we see with older estate plans is that they were drafted under very different tax rules. What made sense years ago may now be unnecessary, outdated, or even create complications your family never expected.

That’s why reviewing your estate plan matters.

Your assets change.
Your family changes.
Tax laws change.
Your plan should keep up.

If it’s been years since you looked at your documents, it may be time to sit down and make sure they still do what you think they do.

There are no "easy days" in law.

Just different kinds of interesting.

One minute you're explaining a pet trust. The next you're helping a family through probate, reviewing an estate plan, answering questions about Medicaid, or trying to untangle a problem that could've been prevented years ago.

Every day is different, and that's exactly why we love what we do.

(Although a day with only one crisis wouldn't hurt. 😄)

When people think about a legacy, they often think about what they're leaving behind.

The truth is, your family will remember more than the assets.

They'll remember whether things were clear, whether decisions were easier, and whether they had the guidance they needed during one of life's hardest moments.

That's the kind of legacy a good estate plan can leave.

A lot of people assume their family already knows what they want.

The reality is, if those wishes aren't written down, they're easy to misunderstand—or impossible to prove.

An estate plan isn't just about passing on assets. It's about making sure your voice is still heard, even when you can't speak for yourself.

Estate planning shouldn’t feel intimidating, rushed, or like every question is adding to your bill.

At Corriveau Law, the goal is simple: Fast, Friendly, and aFordable.

Before your first consultation, we gather the basic information so the conversation can actually be useful. Your assets, family information, goals, concerns, and what you want your plan to accomplish.

From there, we design the plan, talk through it, make changes if needed, and make sure you understand what you’re signing.

That part matters.

Because a large part of our work is reviewing documents people already have but don’t fully understand. Sometimes they were rushed. Sometimes they were intimidated. Sometimes they were charged every time they asked a question, so they stopped asking.

That’s not how this should work.

Your estate plan should make sense to you before anyone asks you to sign it.

Estate planning shouldn’t be something you just sign and hope you understand later.

It’s your family, your assets, your wishes, and your future. You deserve to know what the documents say, why they matter, and how they actually work.

Ask the questions. Be honest about your situation. Take the time to review the plan before it’s finalized.

The goal isn’t just to get paperwork done. The goal is to leave with clarity.
