Go natural with Alpaca socks, yarn, gifts

Wow... the summer heat is upon us and thankfully our Alpacas have had their annual shearing to harvest their fiber and protect them from the heat. Our family business has three main components that work in unison to bring Alpaca and other natural fibers to consumers. First we have our herd of 17 alpacas. They are shorn once per year and this usually takes place right after the last rains and before the intense summer heat arrives. The alpacas don't like being shorn but they do appreciate the fiber being removed before the summer heat sets in. We have a number of chores to complete before the shearer arrives. We give them their annual vaccines, clip their nails and medicate them for worms. The fiber is then processed and turned into products. This year we are working with Pendleton mills to create luxurious Alpaca blankets.

If you move to another state, what happens to your estate plan?

People regularly move to Idaho from other states and bring with them wills, trusts, and power of attorney documents created in their prior state. Such people often ask me if their old estate planning documents are still valid in Idaho. Generally, those documents are still valid in Idaho. However, there are some very important reasons to have estate planning documents from another state reviewed by an Idaho estate planning attorney. Let’s remind ourselves what each of these documents are and then consider some of the issues that create concern about out-of-state wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents.
