INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you should talk to your partner about concerns regarding other problems, with infidelity it is best to wait until you have proof.  Proof in this case means hard evidence (e.g., pictures, catching them in person, etc.) that your partner has been unfaithful.  If you confront your partner too soon or without evidence, they will just deny everything.  They will also become more secretive and careful with their actions, making it even harder to obtain proof of their infidelity. Before deciding to hire a private investigator it can be helpful to start gathering some information about your suspicions.  Be very careful as you do this, as you do not want to be caught during this initial step.  Also keep in mind that signs of cheating are not the same as proof of cheating.  The most common signs of infidelity include:  Notable increase or decrease in intimacy, affection levels, or sexual interest. Suspicious phone habits like hiding their screen when it rings or being secretive about their text messages. A marked change in appearance and hygiene, such as showering right when they get home from work, dressing up to do mundane things like grocery shopping, or wearing a new perfume or cologne. Being overly secretive about their browser history and an increase in the amount of time they spend online, especially at night. Changes in work routine, like needing to work late often or having to go out of town for work. In order to track your partner’s changing behaviors, it is crucial that you start writing down important information.  A cheating partner will often change their story or question your memory, and this journal will help you bring to light these inconsistencies.  Some things to track in the journal include:  Dates and times of outings/events The other people attending the outing/event Reasons why you are not invited Excuses given for why your partner is late Without being too obvious or invasive, further your preliminary investigation by monitoring your partner’s habits and spending.  In addition to keeping a journal about what they say, try to find some hard evidence about what they are doing.  Watching your partner slyly can help build a case against them, which you can then use to find the right private investigator. Without being too obvious, try to track some of the following:  Monitor your partner’s mileage, receipts, credit card statements, ATM withdrawals, phone records, etc. to give you an idea of where they are going and if they are spending more money than usual. If you share a cell phone account, contact the phone company for the text message log, which includes all text messages sent or received that weren’t deleted. Try searching for other social media accounts to see if your partner has a secret profile under a different name. If you are serious about hiring a private investigator, it is important that you speak with legal counsel about it beforehand.  Marital disputes are fraught with legal issues, and having advice from a lawyer can help limit your exposure.  Many attorneys also work with private investigators and may be able to recommend a PI that they have worked with or have heard is reputable.

SUMMARY: Do not confront your partner until you have proof. Look for signs of cheating. Keep a journal of your partner’s whereabouts. Gather hard evidence. Discuss the matter with your personal attorney.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are married, you should decide whether you want to create an individual or joint trust.  An individual trust includes only your property, while a joint or shared trust includes all property that belongs to you and your spouse. While you and your spouse can create two individual trusts, this can cause complications with shared assets. A joint trust, however, can dispose of both individual and shared property. You can use your list to decide how you want to distribute the assets you place in your trust.  Keep in mind that you don't necessarily want to have all of your property in your trust. If you have retirement or investment accounts that allow you to designate a beneficiary, leave these out of your trust. Including them or designating your trust as the beneficiary only adds an unnecessary layer of complication.  Use your list as you work on your trust so you have a good picture of your total estate and can figure out how you want it distributed. You will need information such as account numbers and locations to transfer title in your assets from yourself to the trust. You also want to make sure that you have accurate information about your property in your trust documents. The people you want to inherit your assets when you die will become beneficiaries of your trust.  If you've included children as beneficiaries, you also should name someone to manage that property for them until they reach adulthood. You also should consider naming alternate or back-up beneficiaries in case your primary beneficiary is either unavailable or refuses to take the trust property. While you are alive, you will be the trustee of your trust. However, someone else will have to take over after you die to distribute the trust's assets.  Most people choose a spouse or adult child as their successor trustee. You also may want to choose a back-up in case the person you've chosen as a successor has predeceased you or is otherwise unavailable or incapable of taking on the trustee's duties. Talk to the person you choose before you draft your documents, and make sure he or she is able and willing to be your successor trustee. You may want to name an additional alternate successor in case the person you name is unavailable or incapable of acting as trustee.  You can name a bank or trust company to manage your trust after your death as well, but keep in mind there probably will be fees involved. Unlike with a will, your successor trustee doesn't have to live in the same state as you, or the state where your real property is located. For this reason, trusts often are preferred if you want a friend or relative who lives out of state to distribute your property after your death.

SUMMARY:
Determine what type of trust you want to create. Make a list of your assets. Gather paperwork for your assets. Decide who will inherit your trust property. Choose a successor trustee.
