Estate planning in Midlothian.
Midlothian was coal country before it was cul-de-sac country, and the deeds remember: mineral-rights reservations from the mining era still surface in title searches off Salisbury and Winterfield, to the bafflement of everyone but the title examiner. We have unwound enough of them to be unsurprised. Most Midlothian work, though, is the modern kind: dual-income households in Salisbury, Roseland, and Hallsley with good incomes, better retirement accounts, and no documents at all.
The Midlothian client we see most is forty-five, has two children, a house worth more than they paid, and a vague sense that 'everything just goes to the spouse anyway.' Under Virginia intestacy, with children from a prior relationship it does not. Even when it does, no one has named a guardian, and the retirement accounts still list a parent who died in 2011. Two meetings and a signing fix all of it for a published fee.
