Tom, Mark, and Helen organize and maintain this publication's educational guides. Their bylines identify editorial responsibility, not attorney review.
Editorial contributor
Trust and probate editor
Tom organizes reader-first guides about trusts, fiduciary roles, and probate records. His pages identify the document or public source a reader should verify before acting.
Editorial contributor
Wills and state-guides editor
Mark edits guides about wills, state court systems, and preparing for a lawyer meeting. His work separates general orientation from rules that must be confirmed locally.
Editorial contributor
Planning and checklists editor
Helen develops practical checklists and guides about family decisions, aging, incapacity, and asset records. Her work emphasizes usable evidence and clear next steps.
What a byline does not mean
The site does not claim that these contributors are lawyers or that a licensed attorney reviewed every page. Readers must verify current law, court instructions, governing documents, and advice for their own facts.
