In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe welcomes estate planning specialist Janet Brewer to explore the unique challenges faced by immigrants and international families when planning for their future. Janet, with over 30 years of experience serving clients throughout Silicon Valley, brings her vast knowledge to address the specific concerns of non-resident aliens, visa holders, green card holders, and other international families with U.S.-based assets. As a member of the invitation-only Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), Janet regularly prepares estate plans for foreign nationals who own property or live in the US and for US citizens who own property abroad. During this discussion, they examine the critical considerations for guardianship of minor children across international boundaries, practical solutions for emergency situations, and financial strategies to protect loved ones regardless of where they call home. The conversation highlights how international estate planning requires careful attention to both legal requirements and practical implementation across different jurisdictions. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 3:41 Learn about the biggest concern for international clients: ensuring their children can return to family in their home country if something happens to the parents. 4:43 While California allows foreign guardians, it does vary by state. 6:40 Understand the critical distinction between technical jurisdiction and actual enforcement power when children leave California for another country. 7:54 Janet highlights that challenges with out-of-state guardianship exist even within the United States, creating similar concerns to those found in international guardianships. 9:41 Find out about temporary guardianship arrangements needed to bridge the gap when appointed guardians live far away. 11:51 Hear Janet's insightful perspective that international guardianship is "a question of degree, not difference" compared to distant domestic guardianships. 12:17 Start listening now to learn about potential complications when children are taken across borders without judicial approval. 14:31 Janet shares a clever software analogy to explain why trust documents need specific instructions for authorizing payments to guardians for travel expenses. 16:36 Discover why life insurance is a crucial financial solution for international families, providing quick liquidity without market timing concerns.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who doesn't have a will, trust, or other estate planning tool in place, your assets are left at the mercy of the laws of the state in which you live, which can lead to unintended costs, headaches, and conflicts for your loved ones.

Forget everything you thought you knew about estate planning. That nagging belief that it's only for the wealthy with beach houses and trust funds? It's completely wrong. As attorneys Jordan McIntyre and Haley Matson explain, everyone has an estate worth protecting, whether you're retired on a fixed income or just starting your family journey.What most people don't realize is that estate planning isn't primarily about protecting your stuff—it's about protecting your people. When you create an estate plan, you're ensuring your children have designated guardians, your assets go to the right beneficiaries, and your loved ones aren't forced to make impossible decisions about your care during emotionally difficult times. Without these protections, the state makes these critical decisions for you, following rigid laws that rarely align with personal wishes.The consequences of not planning can be devastating. When someone dies without proper documents in place, everything goes through probate—a public, court-supervised process where creditors have 90 days to make claims against your estate. This is exactly how families lose homes and cherished property to medical debt and other creditors. And for seniors considering Medicaid for nursing home coverage, comprehensive planning becomes even more crucial to protect assets from reclamation after death. As our attorneys emphasize, planning doesn't mean you're expecting the worst; it simply means you're taking control before crisis hits.Don't fall for the myth that you need to be wealthy or elderly to benefit from estate planning. In fact, creating these documents earlier is always easier and more effective. Life changes like marriage, divorce, births, or deaths often necessitate updates to existing plans, so establishing a foundation early makes future modifications simpler.

There are plenty of LESSONS FROM GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE PLANNING. https://youtu.be/HZI4oiP0ZtM It's a cautionary tale about managing changing circumstances. Proper implementation and monitoring has to be in place. Periodic reviews of the documents, asset titling, and staffing of the fiduciary roles are a must. Finally, understanding the family dynamics and desire for confidentiality are vital in putting the estate plan in place. The disposition of $80 million was at stake here. LAWRENCE D MANDELKER, Partner at the NEW YORK OFFICE OF VENABLE, and I discussed the fact pattern, what could have been avoided, and points to take away in one's own affairs. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ndlYCQRiAokJ4FyATL9Te Transcription Frazer Rice (00:02)Welcome aboard, Larry. VENABLE ARTICLE ON GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:04)Thanks for having me, Frazer. Frazer Rice (00:05)This is, I wouldn't say it's fun talking about someone's estate, but this one's particularly interesting. We all remember Gene Hackman from Hoosiers and Superman and Mississippi Burning and all sorts of great movies. Unfortunately, his end was sad and as it turns out, Gene Hackman's Estate was complicated and public. From a planning perspective, we can learn a lot. ⁓ Take us through a little bit about where where Gene's estate kind of went from and ended up as far as a fact pattern. Fact Pattern in Gene Hackman's Estate Planning Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:37)Sure. So, you know, the news sort of surprised all of us when we heard that he had died. And then over the next couple of days and weeks and even months, more more detail came out. And as you said, it was pretty disturbing. But it seems as though Gene Hackman was a very successful ⁓ actor and he engaged in estate planning. Gene worked with attorneys, which is always a good thing to do it to work with people who are experts in the field And he had a you know a normal estate plan. He lived with his wife It seems like he had a little bit of a fractured family. It was not his first marriage. We learned after he signed his estate planning documents sort of things over the next 20 years sort of changed for him he He had some health issues. He was suffering from advanced dementia at the time he died and as we know his wife died from a virus apparently a week before. Then as the details came out we learned that he had the advanced dementia. There was a fractured family the the wife and his kids did not get along so well. It's unclear what the situation was with how much contact he did have with his children. But he had a will, he had signed it 20 years before he died. The facts changed. It looks like he hadn't reviewed it in a while. His attorney died so we have a sad situation here. Frazer Rice (02:12)Many lessons to get from that. Let's start with the first one. He definitely had ⁓ sort of dementia situations, cognitive dysfunction that eroded over the course of time. Maybe take us through a little bit about the scope of that issue. mean, it affects lots of people and a growing number every year and some things that should be in place because of that. Lawrence D. Mandelker (02:38)Yeah, you know, we all think we've got a lot of time and for someone who gets a diagnosis of dementia It's sort of a warning sign as soon as that happens that, you know, we never know when our time is going to come, but the dementia is sort of the warning. You know, maybe you're entering the second half of the game or the fourth quarter of the game. So maybe you should start getting your affairs in order while you still can. So it's a good ⁓ impetus to do that. You know, when we're looking at estate planning, there's, you you can do different types of estate planning, but really think about it as, you know, you can do it for yourself. You can do it- your loved ones and then you know for depending on the nature of your assets you can do it for tax purposes but you know getting ...

Your bad estate plan is going to cost you! In today's episode, Lauren Klein, a Florida-based tax and estate planning attorney, discussed the critical components of effective estate planning. She debunks myths about revocable trusts, touches on the importance of regularly updating estate plans, and shares on the unethical financial incentives some attorneys may have to let plans fall short. We also talk the strategic use of irrevocable trusts, asset titling, and state-specific protections like Florida's homestead laws for enhanced asset security. We discuss... Lauren Klein is a Florida-based tax, trust, and estate attorney who works nationally, helping clients with estate planning, probate avoidance, and tax strategies. Probate happens when someone dies owning assets solely in their name without a beneficiary or trust. Probate adds stress during grief and often sparks disputes—especially if there's no clear plan or distant relatives get involved. Family fights usually come from unresolved issues, emotional baggage, or greed. Clear planning helps prevent conflict, though it can't always stop it. Many assume a will or trust avoids probate, but trusts must be properly funded—assets need to be retitled into the trust or have it listed as beneficiary. The estate planning industry is too transactional—clients get documents but little follow-up. After a death, families often struggle to locate and transfer assets legally while grieving. It requires attorneys, paperwork, and patience. A common myth is that revocable trusts protect assets from taxes or lawsuits. They don't during your lifetime—but they help avoid probate and add control. Revocable trusts shine when passing assets to kids. They can protect inheritances from divorce or lawsuits and become irrevocable (and stronger) after death. Trusts are especially helpful for blended families and young kids. You can distribute assets in stages and add estate tax protection with proper planning. Irrevocable trusts offer stronger protections but are more complex and better suited for high net worth or special planning needs. Asset protection varies by state—Florida, for example, offers homestead and tenancy protections. Even how you title a car can matter. Retirement accounts and life insurance have some protection, but it depends on the state. Listing all assets is key to building a strong estate plan. Crypto is showing up more in estate planning. It requires special steps to protect and transfer securely.

In the final installment of our 3-part estate planning series, we dive into one of the most overlooked—but critically important—aspects of planning: protecting your heirs' inheritance. It's not enough to simply leave assets to your loved ones. Without proper planning, those assets could be exposed to divorce, lawsuits, creditors, or mismanagement.

Jonathan Feniak is a business attorney and the driving force behind LLCAttorney.com. After successful careers in logistics and finance, he became a licensed attorney at 45 to help make legal protection and business formation more accessible to entrepreneurs. Jonathan now helps clients across all 50 states establish LLCs, protect their assets, and structure their businesses efficiently—with a focus on practical, cost-effective solutions that deliver real protection. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Asset protection begins with proper business formation—but it doesn't end there. Many business owners form LLCs but fail to “respect” them by observing corporate formalities, rendering them ineffective in court. Wyoming is one of the best states to form a holding company due to privacy and strong charging order protection. Creating a holding company structure helps simplify asset management, estate planning, and liability isolation. Revocable living trusts are a low-cost way to ensure smooth inheritance without the burden of probate, especially across multiple states. Topics From Corporate to Counsel: A Third Career Attorney Jonathan began in logistics (UPS, DHL), then transitioned to finance and wealth management. At 45, he pursued law full-time to combine strategic advising with legal structure and protection. His mission is to democratize access to real legal solutions—without the inflated price tag. What Most People Get Wrong About LLCs Forming an LLC is just step one—maintaining it properly is where most fail. Respect your LLC by: holding meetings, documenting decisions, separating finances, and keeping the business in good standing. Improperly managed LLCs are often disregarded by courts, leaving owners personally liable. The Power of Holding Companies Use a Wyoming LLC as a holding company for privacy, asset protection, and estate efficiency. Helps shield your name from public documents and reduces the impact of being linked to failed partnerships or lawsuits. Holding companies simplify asset transfers to heirs and reduce exposure to out-of-state probate. Estate Planning and Life Events Estate plans should be revisited every five years—or after any major life change (e.g., marriage, children, death, relocation). A revocable living trust paired with an LLC holding company offers clean transitions for heirs and minimal disruption. Overcomplicated estate plans often backfire; keep it simple and update as needed. Avoiding Snake Oil and Legal Overkill Many providers push unnecessary structures—like offshore trusts or layered LLCs—on inexperienced investors. Jonathan emphasizes reasonable, effective solutions tailored to the investor's current risk and net worth. Focus on clear, scalable strategies that grow with your portfolio.
What is the value of a dollar? In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans and Brian explore the concept that not all dollars are created equal. They discuss how the value of your money changes dramatically depending on where it's stored, how it's invested, and what phase of life you're in.From emergency funds to retirement planning, they challenge conventional financial wisdom and explain why simply chasing higher returns isn't always the best strategy. The discussion dives into how liquidity, accessibility, and guarantees can often be more valuable than pure growth potential.Through real-world examples and case studies, this episode offers a fresh perspective on financial planning that goes beyond account balances to consider the true value and utility of every dollar in your personal economy.Not All Dollars Are Created Equal: When a dollar bill is held in your pocket, it's the same as any other. But once that money is put into motion - invested, saved, or spent - its true value changes based on accessibility, guarantees, liquidity, and many other factors that are often overlooked in conventional financial planning.The Dangers of Conventional Financial Wisdom: The common advice that focuses solely on account balances and growth rates ignores or minimizes crucial factors like accessibility, guarantees, and tax implications. This blanket financial advice can lead people to make devastating financial decisions without considering their individual circumstances.The Power of Liquidity in Uncertain Times: A compelling case study reveals how a wealthy client struggled to secure a mortgage despite having millions in collateral, until they could provide $600,000 in liquid cash deposits. This real-world example demonstrates how cash value life insurance policies can provide guaranteed access to capital when traditional financing becomes restricted.Planning for an Unpredictable Future: Creating financial plans that can withstand unexpected events is more important than relying on historical market performance. With major disruptors like AI on the horizon and economic uncertainty, liquidity and guaranteed access to capital will be increasingly valuable.Estate Planning Considerations: The often-overlooked estate phase of financial planning highlights how different assets pass to heirs and why life insurance death benefits offer significant advantages in terms of tax treatment, probate avoidance, and guaranteed value.▶️Chapters:00:00 - Understanding Dollar Value01:00 - Brian's Office Setup & Hans's Finger Injury 03:00 - The Value of a Dollar - Not All Equal05:00 - Three Things You Can Do With Money 08:00 - Bad Financial Planning & Blanket Advice 13:00 - Report Card for Your Dollars 15:00 - Planning for the Future vs. Past Performance21:00 - AI as a Major Economic Disruptor 26:00 - Case Study: Mortgage Access & Liquidity 34:00 - Benefits of Cash Value Life Insurance 37:00 -Waiver of Premium Rider Benefits 39:00 - Estate Planning & Death Benefits 44:00 - Final Thoughts: Grading Your Dollar's PerformanceVisit https://remnantfinance.com for more informationFOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance)Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=61560694316588)Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance)TikTok: @RemnantFinance Don't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE

“We're talking about giving space to practice. Not only practice the relationships but also practice managing money.” -Sean Maher Most people plan their estate down to the last dollar, but forget to prepare for the emotional fallout that almost always comes from a lack of proper communication between family members. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with husband and wife team Sean and Jill Maher to talk about their book The Greatest Gift: 9 Principles for the Transfer of Your Legacy Along with Your Wealth, which journeys into the emotional side of passing down wealth and family legacy. The idea for the book came after Sean, a financial advisor, saw a well-planned inheritance fall apart when a family started fighting after their parents passed. He brought the issue home to Jill, a mental health counselor, who pointed out that what he was really seeing wasn't a planning problem—it was grief. Together, they've come up with nine key principles that help families avoid drama and stay connected regarding inheritance. The big takeaway? It's not just about the money. No matter how much (or little) you're passing on, what matters most is communication, shared values, and emotional safety. Jill and Sean suggest families start having small, low-pressure meetings early, while everyone's still around to talk things through. It's about creating space for honest conversations, building trust, and setting expectations. Their advice blends practical planning with emotional wisdom, encouraging people to treat legacy as a relationship, not just a transaction. At the heart of it all, their message is simple: don't avoid the tough conversations—have them, and carry them out with love.

Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic dive into a topic you might not think about often — what's hiding inside your storage unit or other outbuildings? Whether it's transitional moves, seasonal gear, heirlooms, or forgotten treasures, too many people lose track of what they own simply because it's out of sight. Beth and John break down why it's critical to inventory your storage units, sheds, barns, or other structures — and how doing so can save you money, protect your investments, and ease the burden on your family in the future. They share real-life stories (including some pretty wild finds!), practical tips for getting started with a simple photo inventory, and why HomeZada makes managing all these spaces easier than ever. You'll also hear how taking just a few hours upfront can prevent the costly mistakes of duplicate purchases, lost heirlooms, and even unwanted appearances on shows like Storage Wars!
