As CPA financial planners, we often encounter a painful reality: adult children who are surprised, or even hurt, by their parents' estate plans—after it's too late for discussion. In this episode, Cary Sinnett speaks with Kelley Long, a respected fee-only financial wellness coach and former bank trust officer, about how proactive communication can help families preserve relationships and honor intentions. Kelley offers practical, thoughtful strategies for advisors to help clients initiate and navigate these conversations. Topics include: The ideal timing for involving heirs in estate planning discussions Balancing fairness and transparency, especially when distributions are unequal How to help clients overcome the fear of conflict or entitlement The importance of framing the conversation around values and legacy, rather than specific financial details The role of ethical wills in clarifying intent and reducing misunderstandings Key Insight: Estate planning is not just a legal or financial process—it's a relational one. When clients are supported in sharing their intentions and values clearly, the outcome is not just a smoother transition of wealth, but a stronger foundation for family unity.

In this episode, we shine the light on common estate planning mistakes that can derail even the best intentions.

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

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert continue their discussion on estate planning during divorce proceedings with practical solutions. Following their previous episode on the potential problems that can arise if someone becomes incapacitated or dies during divorce, they now focus on preventative measures. The attorneys explain how to ensure your soon-to-be ex-spouse doesn't maintain control over your healthcare decisions or inherit your assets contrary to your wishes. They discuss the creation of new healthcare directives, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts—all while navigating the automatic temporary restraining orders (ATROs) that restrict asset transfers during divorce. This episode, part two of their divorce series, provides clear guidance on proper timing of estate planning updates during divorce to protect yourself legally before the process is finalized.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:03 How to avoid having your spouse be responsible for you if incapacitated 2:26 Next, Kirsten and Jessica discuss options for those who have never created estate planning documents 2:48 What should you do if you already have documents naming your spouse? 3:16 Now, let's talk about how to prevent your spouse from inheriting if you die before the divorce is final 5:23 What are the next steps for clients who already have a joint trust with their spouse? 6:07 Let's clarify the importance of following trust-specific revocation methods and requirements during divorce 7:44 Finally, listen as Kirsten and Jessica talk about why accepting potential probate may be necessary and worth it

In this episode, we explore how to pass on your assets smoothly and efficiently—without dragging your loved ones through probate court. You'll learn why probate can be costly and time-consuming, and how non-probate strategies like beneficiary designations, joint ownership, and revocable living trusts can help you keep more money in your family's hands and less in legal fees. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms. 

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe examines the estate complications following Richard Simmons' death in July 2023. She details the ongoing legal dispute between Simmons' brother Leonard (named trustee) and Teresa, his housekeeper of 30 years who briefly served as co-trustee before a contested resignation. The conflict centers around approximately $1 million in personal property—primarily jewelry—that Teresa allegedly took when evicted from Simmons' home. While Teresa claims Simmons gifted her the jewelry in 2014, Leonard argues documentation proves otherwise. Kirsten extracts three valuable lessons: first, avoid naming co-trustees, especially in complex estates where a professional trustee would be more effective; second, document valuable lifetime gifts to prevent future disputes; and third, include specific provisions for non-owner residents in your estate plan to prevent eviction complications. This case study highlights how proper estate planning can prevent family conflicts, protect valuable assets, and ensure thoughtful treatment of longtime household members after death.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:30 Meet the central figures in this estate drama: Teresa, the housekeeper, vs. Leonard, the brother. 2:05 From co-trustee to eviction, let's talk more about the shocking timeline after Simmons' death. 3:15 The million-dollar mystery: where did Richard Simmons' valuable jewelry disappear to? 4:20 Next, we'll discuss the number one estate planning lesson this case reveals: why co-trustees can transform estates into battlegrounds. 5:45 Estate Planning Lesson #2: Gifting jewelry? Why documentation might be your best accessory 6:30 And last but not least, estate planning lesson number three, the critical provision that could have prevented a housekeeper's eviction.

In the first part of our series on estate planning, we laid the groundwork for why incapacity planning matters and what documents you need to get started. But there's more to it than just having your paperwork in order. In this second episode on planning for incapacity, we take the conversation further by focusing on what happens when long-term care is needed. We'll walk through the different types of care—home care, assisted living, and nursing homes—and how to plan ahead financially using private pay, long-term care insurance, or Medicaid planning. We'll also highlight common pitfalls like outdated or missing Powers of Attorney, and the risks of DIY estate planning that can create real problems down the road. If you haven't reviewed your incapacity planning documents lately—or if you've never had them in place—this episode is your call to action. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms. 

Lending money to a child is common, whether it's for buying a home, starting a business, or getting through a tough financial patch. But when it comes time to plan your estate, that unpaid loan can create real complications. Should you forgive the debt when you die? Or treat it as an advance on that child's inheritance and reduce what they receive? An estate plan will utilize two primary approaches to resolving these loans, and we'll discuss the pros and cons to each.  Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: ⚖️ The pros and cons of forgiving vs. equalizing through inheritance

Today kicks off a brand-new series on estate planning. Estate planning is one of those things everyone knows they should do—but far too many people put it off, sometimes until it's too late. And the truth is, whether your financial situation is complex or pretty straightforward, having a solid estate plan isn't just about what happens after you're gone. It's also about making things easier for your loved ones—and protecting yourself—while you're still here. That's why we're launching this special series to break estate planning down into simple, practical steps. We'll walk through the essential documents you need, the common mistakes that can derail a plan, and some of the more advanced strategies for protecting and passing on your wealth efficiently. Whether you're starting from scratch or just need to update an existing plan, this series will give you the roadmap you need. Now, we originally thought we could cover the first part of this in a single episode—but planning for incapacity turned out to be too important to rush. In this episode, we'll cover why incapacity planning is essential, real-life scenarios that make it critical, and the foundational documents every adult should have: Financial and Medical Powers of Attorney, and Advance Directives. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms. 

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, Kirsten Howe, managing attorney at Absolute Trust Counsel, and associate attorney Jessica Colbert examine the estate of beloved actor Gene Hackman. They meticulously analyze the available court records from Santa Fe County, New Mexico, and contrast them with California's probate procedures. The attorneys skillfully debunk sensationalized headlines about Hackman's will, explaining the mechanics of pour-over wills and why media claims about his children being "cut out" are potentially misleading. While much of the discussion is speculation, they provide valuable insights into how proper estate planning anticipates contingencies like beneficiaries predeceasing the trustor. This episode demonstrates why understanding the difference between public court filings and private trust documents is crucial for anyone planning their estate.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:39 Unraveling the court filings: What exactly was submitted in Santa Fe County after Gene Hackman's death? 3:46 Who is Julia Peters, and how did she become the personal representative of Hackman's estate? 5:00 California vs. New Mexico: Next, let's dive into how "informal probate" creates a dramatically different process. 7:03 Separating fact from fiction: What headlines get wrong about Hackman's estate planning. 8:05 "His children are cut out." Here, Kirsten and Jessica debunk the sensational claims about Hackman's will. 10:00 The unexpected twist: What happens when a primary beneficiary predeceases the trustor? 11:44 The mysterious "GEBE" trust is revealed. Listen in as Kirsten and Jessica explore Hackman's power of appointment. 13:32 Why Hackman's true wishes may remain private forever - Unless litigation changes everything.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert explore the critical steps in getting a will admitted to probate. They explain why lodging an original, properly executed will with the county superior court is essential, and how witness testimony can authenticate the document. They also examine the pitfalls of relying on a photocopy—or finding out too late that the original has been lost or destroyed. Finally, they underscore the importance of keeping your estate documents organized to avoid future probate headaches. If you're preparing your first will or need to update an existing one, don't miss this critical conversation on ensuring your final wishes stand up in court.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:40 When lodging the original will, did you know that you must submit the current wet-signed will to the county superior court (not an older or photocopied version). 1:48 Next, Kirsten and Jessica discuss how an attestation clause (witness statements under penalty of perjury) helps ensure the will is recognized by the court. 3:45 If your will is holographic (entirely handwritten), it requires an additional step: someone familiar with the testator's handwriting must confirm its authenticity. 6:37 If only a photocopy exists, the court may suspect the original was revoked or destroyed—making it crucial to keep track of the original.

Updating your estate plan may be hard. Scratch that. It will be hard. Family dynamics aren't always easy. And when you add money to the equation, well...it can change everything and not always for the better.   About the Episode

Estate planning isn't just about organizing your assets or drafting a will. It's about creating a roadmap that ensures your wishes are honored and your loved ones are cared for. Communicating your estate plan to your family is helpful for several reasons.

In the ever-evolving landscape of personal and financial circumstances, regularly updating your estate plan cannot be overstated. In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I talk about why it's so important to keep your estate plan up to date. Life happens—families change, finances shift, and you might buy a new property or start a business in another state. That's why I recommend reviewing your plan every year and doing a deeper dive every three years, or whenever a big life event happens. From my own experience, I've seen how essential it is to adapt your plan so it truly reflects where you are in life. Working with the right attorney can help you address things like creditor issues and make sure your loved ones are taken care of, especially if you're managing unique needs or navigating state-specific rules. Estate planning might not sound exciting, but it's all about protecting the people and things that matter most to you.   In this episode, you will hear: Why it is important to regularly review and update estate plans. Key considerations when preserving assets for disabled beneficiaries. Why it is important to regularly update beneficiary designations. When estate plans should be revised when relocating to another state.
