Choosing A Guardian For Your Children In Connecticut

Last week, Matt Curtiss posted about appointing a guardian for children as part of an estate plan.
To add to what Matt wrote, here’s some of my thoughts:

Avoid co-guardians, it may seem like a [...]

Ruth Wakefield: Inventor of The Chocolate Chip Cookie, Framingham State Grad and Great American

This warrants a special Sunday Edition of AConnecticutLawBlog.
When you go to a big name school you’re probably used to seeing some of your fellow alumni on national television.
When you go to Framingham State College, aside from Christa McAulliffe, it’s not such a common event.
This morning, I was watching the Today show and they did a [...]

Passing the bar is a big deal. Truly an achievement worth celebrating.

Connecticut Wineries

This weekend I went to the Haight-Brown Vineyard in Litchfield (pictured below).

The wine at the vineyard is so good and the people there are so friendly that the wine should sell itself.
Their Covertside White is a perfect summer wine.  Absolutely perfect. Buy some now and thank me later.
As you know by now, Connecticut has a [...]
