As we kick off the new year it is a good time to take a look back at 2007.

I am proud of what this site accomplished in 2007. Starting with no visitors as all sites do and moving up to 600 visitors a month is great, and exceeded my expectations. I appreciate everyone that stops by and takes the time to get educated about Connecticut estate planning and elder law issues. I hope you find the information here valuable and will visit again.

The most popular posts of 2007 were:

1. Estate Planning for Title 19;
2. 9 Questions to Ask BEFORE Entering a Nursing Home;
3. Revocable Trusts and Connecticut Medicaid;
4. Title 19 Penalties and Gifts;
5. Myths and Realities of Living Trusts in Connecticut.

Five is enough. I won’t bore you with a top ten.

I’m already working on making 2008 a great follow-up to what we accomplished in 2007. Stay tuned for details. Have a happy and healthy new year.

Do not adjust your web browsers. That is snow, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, falling on your screen.

Today I am launching the site search project. There is a lot of information spread throughout my site and sometimes the best way to find something is with a keyword search. I say the site search is almost live because the search method I use is subject to change based on how things unfold during this test. So, if you’re looking for something in particular and are having trouble locating it through the link structure currently in place, try out the new site search here.

I just completed a software update for this site and while everything seems to be working correctly, if you encounter any weird or unusual behaviors please let me know at atty.shea@gmail.com
