Voluntary versus Involuntary

They will testify, saying they are terminating their rights to the child.

Furthermore, voluntary termination can apply to biological or adopted children. There are various reasons a parent may terminate their own parental rights. It all varies on the parent and the situation in the family.

On the other hand, there is an involuntary termination of rights. This occurs when the parent does not agree with the decision, and it is ruled by the court. Major reason a parent will have involuntary termination of rights include:

A will is an important document for families and loved ones. It is a legal document that will pass on the property of a deceased loved one to a number of beneficiaries. Wills have a number of benefits, such as making the process after a loved one’s death easier. It also gives the passing loved one peace of mind they might not have had.

Now, there are two types of wills the state of Texas recognizes: an attested will and a holographic will. These two types of wills vary from each other in a small way. However, both types of wills serve the same purpose. The only difference is how they are created.

Attested and Holographic Wills

Attested wills and holographic wills are the only types of wills recognized by Texas.

An attested will is the most common type of will. It is also the way most people think about wills. A valid will must be in writing and signed by the testate. The testate is a person who has died and left a will. The testate must also have another person in their presence and two attested witnesses over the age of 14.

A holographic will is a will that is written completely by hand and signed by the testate. A holographic will does not need to be signed by a witness and is still valid in the state of Texas. These two types of wills can help you rest in peace and make the process after your death easier. Your family will appreciate the smooth process your will provide.

Divorces may end a relationship, but there are times when the two may still interact. One such interaction could be spousal support. Relationships are not always even financially. One partner may have a better paying job than the other, and so there is an imbalance. A divorce could lead one person financially unstable, and so one spouse may receive support from the other.

This support is also known as alimony. It is when one financially stable spouse helps the other after divorce. This situation can be court-ordered or a predetermined decision between the couple. The goal of alimony is for the unstable spouse to gain financial stability.

Qualifications for Spousal Support

Divorce is stressful, but The Fetty Firm can ease some of it.

One of those circumstances could be a spouse convicted of domestic abuse to the other spouse or a child. However, the conviction must be during the marriage or within two years of filing the divorce. Another option is the spouse has a physical or mental disability that prevents them from supporting themselves.

Probate is when a will goes through a legal process to determine if it is authentic. It is a common legal procedure, but it is also very timely. Wills that go through probate takes time and money, which is why some try to avoid it altogether. There is a way to skip probate, and there may be scenarios when you would want to skip the process.

Wills are used to pass on property to beneficiaries once a person dies. If a will is not established, then the courts will create one and distribute property how they see fit. Wills are very beneficial for the families after a family member’s death and the testate, the person dying. The family will have a more comfortable process after their loved one’s passing. Plus, their loved one will have peace of mind when they do pass.

Ways of Avoiding Probate

Most wills go through probate.

There are ways of avoiding probate, but there needs to be careful planning. Firstly, it is best to have a will. Those who die without wills may also require probate. You may want to avoid probate to skip the many legal fees you will incur or avoid the estate taxes. Your reason may also simply be privacy.

Regardless of the reason, there are ways of avoiding probate. One way of avoiding this lengthy legal process is to set up a revocable living trust. Property is placed into the trust that is only accessible to the owner. Once they die, the property is given to a beneficiary, and no probate is needed.

Life insurance policies are another way you can avoid probate. They require policyholders to add a beneficiary to the plan. Once the holder passes, then the property is passed on to the beneficiary. Retirement plans may also be another option, but not all of them work the same way.

In general, you will most likely go through probate. Unless you actively plan to avoid it, the process will most likely occur. That said, probate is relatively inexpensive, and the process has been streamlined over the years.

Adopting may be challenging, but it is also very rewarding. There are numerous benefits to adopting a child rather than having your own. Adoption of a child benefits three parties: the birth parents, the child, and the adopting parents. These three parties all benefit from such an action and should be recognized.

Benefits of Adopting

There are a number of reasons a mother may put her child up for adoption. Regardless of the reason, the adoption helps her achieve potential goals she may have and reduces certain probabilities that may occur. For example, a mother may choose adoption for their child if they wish to finish school. Additionally, the mother is also more likely to obtain a job after the baby is born.

Adoption is a lengthy and complicated process. The Fetty Firm can help future parents.

So, the mother or adopted child helps out a lot. It also helps the child who is the most important party in the action. The child will have a stable home and parents to go to. They will not be left without guidance as they grow up. Numerous studies also reveal that adopted children have greater health, more attention, more adjusted, and more involved in aspects of their life.

Finally, the adopted parents benefit from adopting because they are getting the child they have always wanted. They will be able to provide support for a child that would not have had it before.
