Aiston Law LLC

  • At Aiston Law LLC, we help families who want to make things as easy as possible for their loved ones in life and in death. As a Mom, I know that parents want to preserve their hard-earned wealth, but that we want to pass on so much more than material wealth! We want to make sure that our kids are always with the right people, that they have everything they need to pursue their dreams, and that they know what our values are and how fiercely we love them. As a Future Retiree, I know that we all want to have worry-free golden years where we can enjoy travel, recreation, and spending time with our kids and grandkids. As a Daughter, I know that adult children worry about their parents, and want to make sure they will have the care they need in their elder years. Worrying about these things can be overwhelming, but you deserve peace of mind, and we’re here to help you to get it.

Debt Does Not Die When You Do

I found this really great article (and here's Part 2) written by Eugene S. Melchionne, a Connecticut Consumer Attorney.  (A Consumer Attorney deals with debtor and creditor law.)  It's good to read something like this from a Consumer Attorney.  He really deals with helping clients pick up the pieces after it is too late.  He's advising people to plan for taking care of debt, so that their loved ones don't have to suffer the consequences.  There are several different tools that you can use to plan so that your loved ones aren't left high and dry.  Two that immediately come to mind are Life Insurance and a Revocable Living Trust.  If you have a lot of debt that could put your family in the poorhouse if you pass away too early, talk to your attorney about these possibilities.
