Older couple with a lawyer

My parents are 75 years old and went to a lawyer to draft a will. He told them all they needed was a "Lady Bird" deed. What should they do?

The lawyer told them they might not need a traditional will at all. All they need, he says, is something called a 'Lady Bird' document. That sounds simple enough—but is it really? And should they take that advice?

My husband keeps calling his sports betting an investment strategy. At what point is gambling just gambling?

Calling sports betting an investment strategy can make it sound disciplined, data driven, and almost respectable. But the label does not change the underlying activity. If money is being put at risk on an uncertain outcome in hopes of a payoff, that is gambling by definition.

My bank reported a perfectly legal transaction, and now I feel like I’m under investigation. How do I get them to stop?

You sell a car, move some money between accounts, or make a large purchase, and suddenly your bank is asking questions. It can feel personal. You know the transaction was completely above board, but now you're wondering why your bank seems so interested in what you're doing with your own money. The frustrating part is that this happens more often than most people realize. Banks are required to watch for unusual activity, and sometimes perfectly legitimate transactions end up getting caught in the process.

I helped my brother start a business, but now that he's earning profit he says I’m not owed anything. Should I take him to court?

Helping your brother get a business off the ground probably seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Maybe you put in money, spent countless hours helping, or opened doors that helped the company grow. Now the business is finally making money, and suddenly your brother is acting like you were just doing him a favor. Before you march into court, it's worth understanding what actually matters in a dispute like this.

You finally close on your new home, get the keys, and start settling in. Then you notice something is off: that large, beautiful tree that was in the yard when you toured the property is gone. Not trimmed. Not damaged. Completely removed. Now you’re left wondering what just happened and what you can do about it.

Older man worried about retirement

I’m 60 years old and I just heard about the retirement Rule of 173—now I’m panicking. Am I too late?

Retirement advice has a way of making people panic. One minute you’re minding your business, and the next you’re hearing about some “Rule of 173” that supposedly everyone else learned 20 years ago. So, are you too late?

My step-dad said his vintage Harley would be mine when he passed. Now that he’s gone, his son is claiming the bike. With no will, what can I do?

When a loved one passes away without a will, settling their estate can quickly become a nightmare. If you were promised something but never got it in writing, you might find yourself in a difficult position when you try to claim it as yours.
