The Social Security Fairness Act aims to remove two rules—the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO)—that reduce benefits for public sector workers and their families. If passed, this law would help those affected get the full benefits they've earned. Find out how this could impact your financial future.

Guardianship is a legal process for when someone can't make safe decisions on their own. Without a power of attorney, a court appoints a guardian to handle their finances and healthcare. Even with a power of attorney, guardianship may still be needed if someone is making unsafe choices. It's a last resort but ensures their best interests are protected.

Navigating Social Security overpayments can be challenging, but recent changes aim to ease the burden. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has reduced the overpayment withholding rate from 100% to 10% of monthly benefits, or $10—whichever is greater. This adjustment provides beneficiaries with greater financial stability while addressing overpayment issues. At Geyer Law, we stay informed about such changes to offer you accurate guidance.

Estate planning can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to trusts. One common option is a testamentary trust, which is created through a will and only takes effect after someone passes away. This type of trust is often used to provide for minor children, individuals with disabilities, or beneficiaries who need financial oversight. A trustee manages the funds, ensuring they're used to meet the beneficiary's needs as specified in the trust.

Should you choose a will or a trust? A will requires probate, a court process to settle your estate, while a trust allows your assets to be managed and distributed privately without court involvement. Trusts can save time, reduce costs, and protect your privacy, especially if you own property in multiple states. At Geyer Law, we help you choose the best option to secure your legacy.
