"Harmony Montgomery's Mother Pursues Justice in Probate Court"

Crystal Sorey, the mother of Harmony Montgomery, is seeking a legal declaration of her daughter's death in probate court as she plans to sue the state of New Hampshire for the wrongful death of her 5-year-old daughter. Harmony's father, Adam Montgomery, was convicted of second-degree murder in her death, and Sorey's attorney used this conviction as proof that Harmony is no longer alive. Sorey emphasized that finding Harmony remains her top priority and is working with a nonprofit organization to organize a community search.

Aretha Franklin's Sons in Legal Battle Over Handwritten Wills

A trial is set to begin to determine whether one of two handwritten documents found in the home of the late singer Aretha Franklin should be recognized as her true will. Franklin's sons have been in a legal battle over the conflicting documents, with one found under a couch cushion and the other in a locked cabinet. The trial will determine which document best reflects Franklin's wishes and could result in the distribution of her remaining fortune, property, and music rights. The jury may also decide that neither document is a legitimate will, reverting to an even division of the estate among her children based on Michigan law.

Why leaving money to your kids could be a financial mistake, according to a California lawyer.

California-based estate planning and asset protection lawyer, Brittany Cohen, advises against leaving anything to your children when you die, as it can lead to serious financial and legal issues. Instead, she recommends creating a living trust and making your children beneficiaries. Cohen also advises against adding your children's names to the deed of your primary residence and going through probate court. She suggests seeking advice from an estate lawyer or financial planner to protect your assets and set your loved ones up for success.
