In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert discuss critical estate planning considerations during divorce proceedings. They explore what happens if someone becomes incapacitated or dies while their divorce is still pending, revealing potentially unwelcome consequences if proper planning isn't in place. The discussion highlights how existing estate plans typically name a spouse as the primary decision-maker and beneficiary—a designation most divorcing individuals would want to change immediately. Without written estate plans, the situation becomes even more complicated, potentially requiring expensive and contentious conservatorship proceedings for incapacity or following intestacy laws upon death that would likely favor the soon-to-be ex-spouse. This episode, part one of a two-part series, emphasizes that you remain legally married until a judge finalizes your divorce, meaning all existing estate planning designations remain in effect unless proactively changed.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:10 What happens if you become incapacitated during divorce with a written estate plan 2:52 The consequences of becoming incapacitated without a written estate plan during divorce 3:28 Brief explanation of the conservatorship process and why it should be avoided 5:03 What happens if you die before your divorce is finalized 5:12 Death without a written estate plan during divorce: intestacy and its complications 6:29 How existing written estate plans remain in effect until the divorce is finalized 6:48 The bottom line: You remain legally married until a judge says otherwise

Colorado Man Impersonated Wife's Ex to Stalk and Murder Her During Divorce Process, Authorities Say A Colorado man is facing trial after allegedly stalking and ultimately murdering his wife during their divorce proceedings, authorities revealed. Daniel Krug, 44, is accused of posing as his wife's ex-boyfriend and sending her threatening texts for months before fatally beating and stabbing her in December 2023. Kristil Krug, 43, was found in the garage of her home on December 14, 2023, with signs of a brutal attack. Prosecutors presented evidence in court, including a digital trail of messages that linked Daniel Krug to the crime. The texts, sent from an account posing as Kristil's ex-boyfriend, caused the victim to fear she was being stalked. Kristil had reported the harassment to authorities in October 2023, stating that the sender knew intimate details of her life, including where she and her husband worked, and had sent creepy photos of her car and her husband. Kristil had been planning to divorce Daniel, accusing him of being “sometimes rough with the kids,” and had confided in her mother about her plans to leave him. The texts escalated to disturbing messages, including one that read, “I'll get rid of him and then we can be together.” Investigators eventually traced the messages to Daniel Krug after linking the IP address to his workplace and discovering that he had purchased a burner phone with a gift card registered to his name. Furthermore, security cameras at the couple's home were tampered with—lenses covered with tape and a Ring camera turned off—leading police to question Daniel's role in the crime. Two days after Kristil's body was discovered, Daniel Krug was arrested on charges of first-degree murder, stalking, and criminal impersonation. Police also ruled out her ex-boyfriend as a suspect after finding him in Utah at the time of the murder. During the investigation, Daniel reportedly called the police to perform a welfare check on Kristil, claiming she hadn't responded to his messages. However, evidence suggested that he had been sending texts from her phone after her death, further implicating him in the crime. In his defense, Daniel's attorney questioned the investigation, claiming flaws in the handling of evidence, including the failure to test Kristil's phone for fingerprints. However, prosecutors argued that Daniel attempted to deflect blame onto the ex-boyfriend, despite his proven alibi. Daniel Krug's trial is expected to continue until April 18.
