Estate Planning, Trusts & Probate
Most people hesitate when they hear the potential price of having an estate plan done for them. It is a big step, and it seems like a lot of money at the time, but investing in your future and the future of your loved ones is well worth the cost.
In New Hampshire, when you pass away without a trust, your whole estate must go through Probate, which is a court process that distributes your assets and which takes a minimum of six months to complete. Therefore, your assets will not be immediately distributed to your family members, as they would if you had a trust in place.
Also, the difference in price between planning now and not planning at all and having your family pay thousands of dollars either to complete the Probate process or pay litigation costs when they can’t agree on who should get what, can be very large.
If you have questions regarding estate planning, trusts or the probate process we have a trusted business partner who can help. Please feel free to reach out to Andrea Nelson of SKLawyers. Her contact information is below:

You’re a person, not a policy.
Brownell Insurance is proud to be a Trusted Choice® agency.
Trusted Choice® agencies are insurance and financial services firms whose access to multiple companies and commitment to quality service enable us to offer our clients competitive pricing, a broad choice of products, and unparalleled advocacy.
Trusted Choice® agencies are dedicated to you and are committed to treating you as a person, not a policy. To that end, they’ve all vowed to abide by the pledge of performance you see to the right.
Why Choose a Trusted Choice® Independent Agent?
Some people think it doesn’t really matter where they buy their insurance. But this misconception could be costing them money, service and protection. Buying insurance isn’t like buying bread or milk. Insurance is an important safety net for your family, your home, your car or your business. Don’t treat the purchase lightly!
There is a difference in where you buy your protection. Many people don’t realize there are three sources for insurance:
- Captive Agents, who can sell you the insurance of only one company.
- Telephone Representatives, who can offer you the insurance of one company, and only on the telephone.
- Independent Insurance Agents, who represent an average of eight insurance companies, and research with these firms to find you the best combination of price, coverage and service.
Your Trusted Choice® Independent Insurance Agent:
- Is a licensed professional with strong customer and community ties.
- Gives you excellent service and competitive prices because your agent can access the insurance coverage from more than one company.
- Unlike other agents, is not beholden to any one company; thus, you don’t need to change agencies as your insurance and service needs change.
- Assists you when you have a claim.
- Is your consultant, working with you as you determine your needs.
- Offers you a choice of insurance plans and programs.
- Is a value hunter who looks after your pocketbook in finding the best combination of price, coverage and service.
- Offers one-stop shopping for a full range of products-home, renters, auto, business, life and health.
- Can periodically review your coverage to keep up with your changing insurance needs.
- Treats you like a person, not just another number.
- Customer satisfaction is the key to an independent agent’s livelihood. So, serving you is your independent agent’s most-important concern.
There Is A Difference!
One Sheet Pan Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans
Crispy rosemary chicken with garlic and herb roasted red potatoes and green beans – ALL on one sheet pan! A perfect main dish with 2 sides in UNDER ONE HOUR and just ONE pan to clean!
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons garlic, minced, divided
2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped, divided
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. red potatoes, halved or quartered
1/2 lb. green beans
Directions
Position a baking rack in center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a sturdy baking sheet with heavy duty foil. I lined mine twice so that it required minimum cleaning.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and lemon zest. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breast and using a brush, brush the skin and the meat with the butter. Place chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 2 teaspoons garlic, and 1 tablespoon rosemary. Toss the halved or quartered potatoes until the olive oil nicely coats them all. Lay the potatoes on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes. If at any point the chicken begins to brown too much during roasting, use a piece of foil to tent ONLY the chicken. After 20 minutes, check the chicken for doneness, if the juices are running clear, or the internal temperature is at 170 degrees, remove the chicken to a plate, and loosely cover with foil.
Toss the green beans in with the potatoes and allow the olive oil to coat the beans. Continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes. My chicken took exactly 30 minutes and I did not need to remove the chicken to a plate. Depending on the size of the chicken breast, you may or may not need to remove. Serve warm.
