A NEW DAY - A NEW ERA

On May 23, 2022, my new best friend, Coach Marcus Freeman, Head Football Coach at the University of Notre Dame, came to Memphis to visit me and give me a few pointers. Thanks, Coach.

A NEW DAY - A NEW ERA

June 28, 2022

It has been six months since we restarted our law firm under the name, MASON LAW, PC. If you are not aware, we are presently working in Executive Suites space at the Colonnade Building next to International Paper, and we are continuing to look for permanent space. MASON LAW, PC, continues to practice in the areas of estate planning, probate and trust administration, estate-related litigation, and business planning and corporate transactions, which may sound similar to what we were doing before, but without the income tax preparation work.

New Team. For those not aware, we have added Jill Westbrook as our Office Manager and Marcia Kisner as our probate and estate planning paralegal. Jill has been working with our legal team for over a year and is doing great work. Marcia has served as a probate paralegal for many years, and she is a great fit for our “First, we listen,” team and our shepherding philosophy. Steve Ebbers, an associate attorney in our firm, continues to practice law with us focusing his practice in the area of estate-related litigation and contested conservatorships.

Firm Vision. We continue to be a law firm which seeks to shepherd our clients in the practice areas surrounding estates, assisting our client’s families with making that transition from life to death as simple as possible, hopefully while minimizing family conflict.

Having just celebrated my 65^th birthday, some may ask the question, “How much longer will you be doing this, old man?” First, let me be clear: I plan on practicing law until I breathe my last, which, God willing, will be many years from now. Some of you may have heard the rumor that I went back to school – a rumor I will confirm. I am one-third of the way through a Masters of Divinity program at Memphis Theological Seminary. My goal is Ordination before reaching age 70 (which is 5 years from now). The program is very enriching and I continue to be challenged in each and every class. But, as I mentioned above, I intend to continue practicing law the rest of my life. I love practicing law too much to give up.

Invitation. Please feel free to stop by our offices on the 4^th floor of the Colonnade Building , whether you need legal help or not. We would love to visit with you and catch up.

Our intention is to provide regular Blog posts with updates on our firm and addressing more complex estate planning issues, such as the selecting of successor fiduciaries, and making distributions to multiple children who have different levels of needs. We hope these posts will help you think a bit differently about your ultimate beneficiaries.
