Help Me!

Hello fellow readers:

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you find something useful here for you. I would love some feedback - please let me know what articles you found of value, and what questions you might have. I believe the blog is set up to receive comments, or you can e-mail me directly at karin@kbaker-law.com.

I am looking for topics, too. A financial advisor colleague made a comment to me recently that one of his goals in educating the gay community is to show them that estate planning isn't so different for gay folks as for 'straight' folks (my words, not his). His point was not to discredit some of the special issues that the glbt community must consider, but instead to highlight that the tools available to the gay community are the same as those available to the gay community.

We spend a lot of time looking at differences sometimes - no matter where we sit - that it is true that we sometimes overlook the similarities. I think there is a middle ground, and I hope that this blog may reflect both the similarities and highlight the differences.

I recognize when considering this blog and my approach, that it is easy to assume that there is a basic understanding of estate planning, and to then go to the next plane and address the differences. I realize that it might be useful, too, to elaborate on estate planning tools in general, as well. So some of the upcoming entries will discuss a variety of estate planning issues.

Again, please send feedback. Like all bloggers, I like to know that someone is reading by more than just the stat counter. All that tells me is you hit the page, not that you made it to the end of this entry. Let me know what you want to know more about.

Thanks!
