Most estate planning mistakes aren’t about missi Most estate planning mistakes aren’t about missing paperwork; they’re about missing conversations. Here are three talks I encourage every Louisiana family to have:

✅ If you are ever incapacitated, decide who can make medical and financial decisions for you. Consider a Durable Power of Attorney and Healthcare Power of Attorney, and make sure your chosen person is willing to serve.

✅ Tell two or three trusted people where to find your Will, insurance policies, account info, and key records. Walk through any written instructions together.

✅ Name a guardian, share expectations, and, when possible, help your children build a relationship with that person now.

These talks can feel hard, but they protect the people you love and reduce stress when it matters most. If you’re ready to start your plan, I’m here to help at (504) 456-8683 or michael@calogerolaw.com.

Caring for a parent is one of the most loving thin Caring for a parent is one of the most loving things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest. 💙

In the latest edition of my Family First blog series, I share the story of a daughter who wanted to honor her mother’s wishes as her health needs changed. Together, we created a plan that gave her the tools to help, without taking away her mom’s independence.
