November 2026 Webinar – Probate: What Happens When Someone Makes a Claim on the Estate?
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin, and Partner, Will Jones
What We’ll Be Covering:
- When someone dies, creditors and other interested parties may have the right to make claims against the deceased person's estate during probate.
- Claims against an estate can come from a variety of sources, including unpaid bills, loans, taxes, contractual obligations, and other alleged debts.
- Not every claim made against an estate is automatically valid, and the personal representative may need to determine whether a claim should be accepted, challenged, or rejected.
- There are important deadlines and procedural requirements for both creditors making claims and personal representatives responding to them.
- Valid debts and expenses generally need to be addressed before estate assets can be fully distributed to beneficiaries, which can affect both the probate timeline and what beneficiaries ultimately receive.
- Disputes over claims can make probate significantly more complicated, making it important for personal representatives and beneficiaries to understand their rights and responsibilities.

December 2026 Webinar – Estate Planning: What Are the Primary Documents That Go into an Estate Plan?
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin, and Family Law Attorney, Michael Trotter
What We’ll Be Covering:
- A comprehensive estate plan is often much more than simply having a will, and different documents serve different purposes during your lifetime and after your death.
- A last will and testament can establish how certain assets should be distributed, nominate guardians for minor children, and name the person you want to administer your estate.
- Trusts can be used in some estate plans to manage and distribute assets, provide greater control over inheritances, and potentially help assets avoid probate.
- Financial powers of attorney allow someone you trust to handle certain financial and legal matters on your behalf if you become unable to manage them yourself.
- Advance directives and healthcare documents can communicate your wishes regarding medical care and designate someone to make healthcare decisions when you cannot do so yourself.
- Estate plans should be reviewed as your life changes, particularly following major events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in finances, or the death of someone named in your plan.

January 2027 Webinar – Divorced, Unmarried vs. Married: What Are the Five Legal Differences Between Divorce and Separation?
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin, and Founding Partner, Lewis Landerholm
What We’ll Be Covering:
- Divorce legally ends a marriage, while legal separation allows spouses to remain legally married while establishing separate lives and resolving many of the same issues addressed in divorce.
- Both divorce and legal separation can involve decisions about property, debts, spousal support, child custody, parenting time, and child support.
- Remaining legally married can have practical consequences involving issues such as remarriage, insurance, taxes, inheritance, and other financial considerations.
- Property and financial obligations may be handled differently depending on whether spouses remain married, legally separate, or ultimately divorce.
- Legal separation may make sense for some couples because of personal, financial, religious, or practical considerations, but it is important to understand what remaining legally married actually means.
- Understanding the long-term consequences of each option can help spouses make informed decisions about whether divorce or legal separation better fits their circumstances.

February 2027 Webinar – What Kind of Evidence Will You Be Asked for in a Personal Injury Court Case?
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin, and Personal Injury Attorney, Andrew Teitelman
What We’ll Be Covering:
- Evidence in a personal injury case can help establish what happened, who may be legally responsible, and how the injury has affected the injured person's life.
- Medical records, treatment plans, medical bills, diagnoses, and documentation of ongoing care can be important in establishing the nature and extent of an injury.
- Photographs and videos of injuries, property damage, accident scenes, or hazardous conditions can help preserve details that may change or disappear over time.
- Witness statements, police or incident reports, and other third-party records may provide additional information about how an accident occurred.
- Employment and financial records may be necessary when someone is seeking compensation for lost wages, reduced earning capacity, or other financial losses caused by an injury.
- Social media posts, prior medical history, communications, and other personal records may also become relevant during litigation, making it important to understand what information the opposing side may request and how evidence should be preserved.

March 2027 Webinar – What Kind of Evidence Is Important in a Divorce Case?
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin, and Partner, Will Jones
What We’ll Be Covering:
- Evidence can play an important role in disputes involving finances, property, support, custody, parenting time, and other issues that arise during divorce.
- Financial documents such as tax returns, bank statements, credit card statements, pay stubs, retirement accounts, and property records can help establish an accurate picture of the marital finances.
- Texts, emails, photographs, videos, calendars, and social media activity may sometimes become relevant evidence depending on the issues involved in the case.
- In custody and parenting disputes, records showing parental involvement, communication, schedules, school or medical matters, and other aspects of a child's care may be important.
- Not everything a person believes proves their case will necessarily be admissible in court, and evidence must generally meet applicable legal and procedural requirements.
- Knowing what to document—and how to preserve it appropriately—can help your attorney evaluate your case and avoid losing information that may become important later.

April 2027 Webinar – Divorce Trials: Tips From a Retired Judge and Divorce Attorney
Speakers: Director of Client Relations, Steve Altishin; Founding Partner, Lewis Landerholm; and Former District Judge, Kathie Altishin
What We’ll Be Covering:
- What actually happens during a divorce trial, and what should you expect when you walk into the courtroom?
- Preparation begins long before the day of trial, including organizing evidence, preparing testimony, identifying witnesses, and determining which issues will need to be decided by the judge.
- Credibility can play an important role at trial, and how a person communicates, responds to questions, and conducts themselves in court can affect how their testimony is received.
- Documents, financial records, communications, photographs, social media, expert testimony, and other evidence may all become relevant depending on the issues being disputed.
- A retired judge and experienced divorce attorney can offer two different perspectives on common mistakes parties make at trial and what helps attorneys present a clear, persuasive case to the court.
- Not every divorce needs to go to trial, and understanding the costs, risks, potential benefits, and uncertainty of litigation can help parties make informed decisions about settlement versus proceeding to court.
