Halloween is for spooky stories. Your legal paperwork doesn’t have to be one of them! Give us a call, we’d be happy to go over your real estate closings.

Billions of dollars end up in state custody every year as unclaimed property.

Forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, old retirement accounts, and life insurance proceeds can easily slip through the cracks—especially after a move, name change, or major life transition.

A few simple steps can help protect your assets:
• Keep your financial records organized.
• Update your contact information.
• Search your state’s unclaimed property database.
• Make sure your estate plan reflects your current assets and beneficiaries.

Twelve legal things every small business owner should be able to check off. Many owners we meet have only a handful.

Swipe through the North Georgia Small Business Legal Checklist and count yours: your entity, your contracts, and your money and risk.

Real estate agents and brokers: shared wells and easements come up often on mountain listings. A special stipulation is the added language in a purchase contract that covers something the standard form does not.
We wrote a free library of them. The North Georgia Special Stipulation Library, Volume I, holds attorney-drafted stipulations for shared wells and easements. It is a Georgia library.
1. Open the library.
2. Find the stipulation that fits the listing.
3. Bring your questions to one of our open houses at the new office this fall.
