Welcome Back, College Football. - BLF

"I knew we needed to determine who would take guardianship of our kids if we were hit by a bus. I knew we needed a will. But I was utterly confused when I realized lots of average people use a trust to protect their children financially if they die." At Burd Law Firm, we want to ensure you and your family are prepared for the future. We will explain every option and answer any questions you may have about estate planning.

I never thought I was rich enough to need a trust for my kids, but it turns out it's the best way to protect them Writer Kelly Burch was always too embarrassed to ask if she needed a trust for her kids since she's not super wealthy.

If you have been around Chattanooga for a while, you will recognize the name MaryEllen Locher, beloved local news anchor and breast cancer advocate, and remember her impact on our community. What you may not realize is that our Attorney, Alex Burd, is the son of MaryEllen Locher. He continues her legacy and desire to help others in the community.

CHI Memorial Foundation is hosting the 20th anniversary of its signature black-tie event, Pink!, on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Alex and Lacy Burd are the special chairs for this event.

"It's our family's honor to continue the work my mom started. She was in a unique position as a news anchor to go through her cancer treatment with the support of thousands of viewers in the Chattanooga area rallying around her," shared Alex Burd. "Those viewers and our community are what inspired the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at Memorial Hospital 20 years ago.

Mom felt every patient going through cancer treatment should have a support team like she had and should have access to the best level of care possible right here in Chattanooga. It's been nearly 20 years since the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center opened its doors, and our family is extremely proud to have been a part of it."

Lacy and I look forward to chairing the 20th anniversary of Pink! and helping continue my mom's mission to support every patient and their families at the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center."

If you want to support the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Scholarship Fund or would like to attend Pink! Visit supportmemorialfoundation.org or call 423.495.PINK (7465).

There is still time to have these documents prepared before your child heads off to college!

BACK TO SCHOOL! Is your child over 18? Are they headed off to college? Despite what you may think, in the eyes of the law, they are adults (even if they’re still your baby).

In some of the worst cases, if your child gets in an accident or is hospitalized while they are away at college, without a valid Healthcare Power of Attorney, you likely won’t be able to help them.
