If you own the property as tenants in common, your will should state who inherits your share. Placing your interest in a trust can avoid probate. If you leave your share to multiple beneficiaries, your plan should describe how your share will be divided or managed to avoid conflicts among your beneficiaries. If you own the property as joint tenants, your share automatically transfers to the surviving co-owner. Discuss your estate plans with your co-owner so they understand your wishes and you can coordinate your plans as much as possible to prevent surprises and minimize potential conflicts. Regularly review and update your estate plan, especially after major life events or changes in your coownership agreement. Call to learn more. From the Attorney’s Desk by Jason Krautkramer, J.D.

A large bald eagle was observed cruising over the Chelsea Conservation Club on Hwy 13 on Thursday, September 10. At this point in the season eagles tend to frequent areas with plenty of open water, hunting for fish and other aquatic life before the cold sets in, cutting off those food sources.
