Sisters Versus Daughter in Heirship Dispute

On behalf of Rebecca W. Geyer & Associates P.C. | Jun 17, 2016 | Uncategorized

There’s nothing like a true story when it comes to teaching a lesson, we believe, and a recent case that reached the Indiana Court of Appeals is a good example. If only the father in the story had executed a will spelling out his wishes, there probably would have been...

Trusts Can Be As Complex as ABC

On behalf of Rebecca W. Geyer & Associates P.C. | Jun 10, 2016 | Uncategorized
