Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to a family law attorney's active cases if they die suddenly?

Pending family law cases require immediate case transition. Nevada State Bar rules require prompt client notification and assistance in securing new counsel. Life insurance proceeds can fund transition costs and provide time to manage the process responsibly.

How do family law attorneys value their practice for buy-sell agreement purposes?

Family law practices are typically valued at 25–50% of annual gross revenue, reflecting the personal nature of client relationships. The buy-sell agreement should specify the valuation method and be updated as the practice grows.

Should a solo family law practitioner carry both personal and key person life insurance?

For solo practitioners, the distinction between personal and business coverage is less important than ensuring adequate total coverage. Personal life insurance sized to income replacement and business obligations serves both purposes for sole proprietors.
