In this episode, I sat down to chat with Ted Finn a local divorce attorney about protecting your personal and marital property before, during, and even after marriage.  

 In his many years of practicing the law, Ted has seen just about every situation that arises in marriage around money and assets.    During our chat Ted explained, "if one person or the other wants to stay in the house, or if it was a property that was brought into the marriage, if it was a separate property that came by gift or inheritance, then we have to be thoughtful and mindful as we go through all of this and saying, Okay, how do we title things on the front end? If you're talking about pre-dissolution planning or even pre-marriage planning, you talked about do we keep separate app assets separate. is the application of a prenuptial agreement, something that we should be discussing? And is it something that can be done in Colorado? It can, but it requires some forethought. One of the things they talked about Colorado is that if you're doing it on the eve of marriage, it's likely not going to be enforceable."

Do you have questions about your property inside of a marriage or divorce?  Contact Ted at  303-776-5380 to set up a personal meeting.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the importance of not being paralyzed by fear in the face of a challenging housing market, and some practical tips on how to approach an inflationary market with caution and still make a return on your investment.  

You hear much in the media these days about the housing crisis and how inflation only makes things worse. While that is partly true, history and my personal experience tell me things aren't as doom and gloom as the media would have us believe.   

In fact, historically during a recessionary period rates for housing tend to drop thus reducing some barriers to purchasing a new home and making it possible to refinance the real estate you already own.

In this episode, I sat down with realtor Heather McChesney to talk about how a realtor helps in the execution of an estate plan, what types of conversations families need to be having now, and some tips for how to have these conversations.   

When it comes to estate planning, knowing what you are going to do is completely different from actually executing the plan.  Heather shares her expertise and insights into how having a team that includes a realtor, is a way to help families ease the transition of the home.  From what to fix to when to sell Heather and her team has it covered.
