Watch the video at PPA.com/seethedifference/wedding to see why you should always use a professional photographer in these true horror stories from real brides! • Do you have backup equipment? You’ve prepared contingency plans for every other aspect of your wedding; your photographer should, as well. A true professional will always bring one or two backup cameras, lenses, flashes, lighting equipment, extra memory cards and batteries. • Do you have liability insurance? Accidents happen, and if one of your guests trips over your photographer’s light stand, it’s good to know you both are protected. Your reception venue may even ask the photographer to submit a certificate of liability ahead of time. Local Vendors City of Ocoee • What happens to my images after the wedding? Will your images be backed up to a hard drive or the cloud once processed? How long will your photographer keep the images afterward? If you have any concerns about losing your photos, knowing what the photographer plans to do with your images after your wedding is important. • When will I get my photos? Printed photos usually take several weeks, but your photographer may be able to get you some images for social media quickly. Just ask. You won’t be able to see everything that happens at your wedding. The right photographer will capture moments you never knew existed.

www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.com x January 24 — February 6, 2019 x 9 “Poof ” It’s All Gone Lost Legacy by: Kristen M. Jackson / Attorney Like magic, first you see it, think it’s real and “Poof ” It’s All Gone. Law firms are often asked the following question. If my mother or father remarries and dies before their new spouse, what happens to any assets they acquired and owned before they remarried? The answer lies in whether or not they commingled their assets. We spend our entire lives ignoring or not accepting the inevitable, that we all die. The only thing that survives us is the legacy we leave behind consisting of property, assets, photos, videos, writings, memorabilia, memories and more. When a person remarries and then dies, often everything they worked for their entire life may be lost to the surviving spouse simply because they failed to prepare sufficient estate or legacy planning before their death. Law firms see this scenario played out time, and time again. Regardless of who may be hurt and because you failed to prepare any legacy planning before your death, attorneys and courts must comply with probate law. Consider the following example. Sara owned a home, a car, bank accounts and investments. From her first marriage to Ted, Sara had 4 children. After 21 years of marriage, Ted died in an automobile accident. Two years later Sara married Bill. Bill had 3 children from a previous marriage. Bill brought no tangible assets to the marriage but he did bring a substantial income. During their marriage, Sara and Bill decided to commingle their assets and earnings as couples typically do. Three years later Sara suddenly fell ill and died. Because Sara and Bill had commingled their assets as joint property, which included all of the assets Sara had acquired before her marriage to Bill, as the surviving spouse, Bill now owned everything. In Florida, all assets jointly owned by a married couple pass to the surviving spouse. Two years following Sara’s death, Bill died suddenly. Furthermore, Bill had never established a close relationship with Sara’s 4 adult children from her previous marriage. You can predict the rest of this story. Because Bill and Sara failed to prepare any estate planning whatsoever, Bill’s children from his first marriage were required to file a probate for his estate. Sara’s children were not included in Bill’s estate settlement nor had any entitlement to it. The unfortunate result of Sara’s poor planning was that the entire family estate legacy from her first marriage was lost. Don’t face the same fate as Sara and her children. Obtain the advice from an estate planning attorney and DO YOUR LEGACY PLANNING NOW. Don’t leave your children with the same fate as Sara’s, that once you are gone your children or other beneficiaries will be left only with the imagination of their past because “Poof ” It’s All Gone.
