You may be starting out in your medical career or looking for a change of scenery when you find yourself in the stressful process of finding a new job. There are many things to consider when job hunting, such as the location of the facility and the kind of medicine you will practice. Because you may hope to stay in your next position for many years, you will want to make sure it will best fit your needs.

When you accept a position at a hospital or medical facility, you will likely have to sign an employment contract. Your contract may include standard information, such as benefits and time off. However, your contract may include some negotiable terms, and failing to closely examine these terms can lock you into an unpleasant situation.

Probate is one of those mysterious events that most people misunderstand. You may have heard from others that the purpose of estate planning is to avoid probate. While planning well to avoid probate may spare your estate some money in the form of taxes, few people take the time to make those plans, leaving loved ones to face the uncertainty that accompanies the settling of an estate.

One of the most common questions people have about probate is how long it lasts. You may have read of celebrities dying without a will whose probate languished for years. Perhaps you have personal knowledge of someone whose heirs came into their inheritance almost immediately. Why do some probates take so much longer than others?

You thought you had it all. You met the love of your life, got married and bought your dream home. You finally dropped that last 15 pounds and even ran your first marathon. You worked up the courage to quit your job and started your own publishing company—which has been thriving.

Suddenly things went south. Your relationship hit the rocks. Things were said and done that can’t be taken back, and now you’re facing the prospect of divorce. To add salt to the wound, you also stand to lose part of your business to your spouse. In a flash, everything you hold dear could be taken from you.

After a long job search, you may have finally received an offer that has you feeling excited. The position may allow you to use your skills and education while also offering a comfortable salary. As a result, you may feel ready to jump right in and get started to get your career on an upward path.

Though your enthusiasm may be warranted, you may want to proceed with some caution. If your prospective employer wants you to sign an employment agreement, you could grab a pen and sign on the dotted line. Before you sign the agreement, you may first want to understand the terms and any restrictive covenants included.
