Wills that don't work. Trusts that get tangled. Heirs scrambling to figure out who gets what—and when. If you've got U.S. investments but live in Israel, your estate plan might be headed for a legal mess without even realizing it. This episode unpacks the real-world problems that come up when your legal documents aren't built for cross-border life—and how you can avoid costly, confusing mistakes by getting your financial and legal teams to actually talk to each other. You'll learn how to set up your plan so your heirs don't need a PhD in international law to carry out your wishes—and why a little proactive planning now can save everyone a lot of headaches later. Key takeaways and action points: Don't assume your U.S. will works in Israel (or vice versa)—get it reviewed Loop your financial advisor in before you finalize estate documents Leave your heirs a roadmap, not a scavenger hunt Work with pros who understand both sides of the ocean

An estate plan is not something you do for yourself. It's something you do for your loved ones. But a well-crafted estate plan is an important component of a comprehensive financial plan. This is an easy to understand discussion of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that make up the estate plan, as well as the purpose and role of the executor, grantor, trustee, and beneficiary.

What's the best way to save for a house without wrecking your retirement plan? That's just one of the big questions Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Mom's neighbor Doug tackle in this packed episode (number 1700!) of Stacking Benjamins. Whether you're trying to figure out where to park your emergency fund, how to handle inherited IRAs, or how to financially plan as a single adult with big responsibilities (hello, aging parents!), this episode is full of relatable scenarios and actionable strategies. Stackers Torin, VJ, Lori, and Michelle ask everything from: How much is too much in your emergency fund? What happens to inherited IRAs when you're already juggling financial priorities? What should single people be doing right now to prepare for the future? How do you juggle helping aging parents while keeping your own goals on track? Plus, we mix in commentary from Kevin at Edward Jones and longtime listener Ron—offering insights from inside the financial services world and the Stacker community. The guys debate personal finance media narratives, give practical advice for budgeting large windfalls, and reflect on why saving feels easier in theory than in practice. Also covered in this episode: Why financial advice often skips over single individuals—and what to do about it Emergency fund strategies: where to park the money, how much to keep, and how to make peace with the fact it isn't earning sky-high returns How to prioritize debt, student loans, savings, and investing without setting off a financial anxiety spiral The value of short-term tradeoffs when you've got long-term goals All delivered with the basement's signature charm—where the coffee is lukewarm, the guidance is practical, and the jokes… well, let's just say they're dividend-eligible. This episode is a perfect listen for: New Stackers building their financial foundation DIYers trying to juggle competing money goals Anyone who's inherited assets and doesn't want to mess it up People who've realized adulting is basically managing 14 financial priorities at once and still remembering to bring snacks.

If you have ever cared for an older loved one experiencing dementia, you may have heard the phrase "med management" or "geri pych," but what do those terms actually mean for you and your loved one.

Many business owners purchase insurance without truly understanding what they're buying or what critical coverage they might be missing. Host Kirsten Howe addresses this knowledge gap by welcoming Dean Myers, owner of Core Insurance Agency, to reveal the fundamental insurance coverage every business owner needs before opening their doors. Dean, who specializes in errors and omissions insurance for lawyers, accountants, doctors, and professional trustees, breaks down the three critical pillars of business insurance: workers' compensation, general liability, and property insurance.   As the first installment of a multi-part series, the focus centers on the absolute basics that form the foundation of any solid business insurance strategy. Dean demystifies workers' compensation requirements in California, explaining why it's legally mandatory even for part-time employees and how the no-fault system protects both employers and workers. The conversation explores the role of general liability insurance in protecting against third-party claims, encompassing a range of incidents, from slip-and-fall accidents to product liability issues. It explores the comprehensive coverage of property insurance, including business interruption and extra expense provisions. Whether you're a solo practitioner considering your first employee or an established business owner reviewing your coverage, the discussion provides crucial insights into protecting your business from day one.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:12 Meet Dean Myers, founder of Core Insurance Agency and specialist in professional liability coverage. 3:04 Listen in to learn about the three non-negotiable insurance pillars every business needs, plus why California law demands workers' comp coverage even for your first part-time employee. 5:04 Workers' comp is identical across all carriers by law, but the "no-fault" system means injured employees can never sue you. 7:06 Did you know? Injured workers typically receive only two-thirds of their salary because insurance companies aim to incentivize their return to work. 9:27 Office workers pay vastly different premiums than construction crews, and your claims history can earn you substantial discounts or painful penalties. Here's what you need to know. 10:02 Pro Tip: Insurance companies often offer free risk management consultations that many businesses overlook, potentially missing out on significant premium savings. 14:20 Next, Kirsten and Dean discuss understanding the difference between premises coverage and products liability, which can help you avoid accidentally choosing the wrong protection. 15:51 Property insurance covers everything from meteor strikes to water damage, but the real goldmine is business interruption coverage. 17:31 Business interruption pays your lost revenue and employees' salaries when disaster shuts you down, plus covers temporary facilities while you rebuild.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe examines the estate complications following One Direction member Liam Payne's tragic death in Argentina in fall 2024. At just 30 years old, Payne left behind a $32 million estate—but no will. His complex assets include performance income, solo artist earnings, brand deals, music publishing rights, and venture investments. Without estate planning, his 8-year-old son Bear becomes the sole intestate heir, inheriting the full amount at age 18. Kirsten analyzes the cascading problems: massive probate fees (at least $376,000 in California), no designated asset management for the minor child, potential displacement of Payne's live-in girlfriend, substantial estate taxes on $18 million (a 40% rate), and no provisions for parents or siblings. This case illustrates how even young, successful individuals require comprehensive estate planning to safeguard their loved ones and preserve their wealth. The key lesson: don't die intestate—unexpected death can happen at any age, making proper planning essential for anyone with assets and people they care about.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:57 Listen as we discuss the untimely passing of Liam Payne and his $32 million estate with complex assets and no will 2:16 While Liam is a citizen of the UK, we're going to analyze his case as if it were under California law, and why probate is problematic for large estates 3:19 The massive cost of probate: $376,000+ in statutory fees alone for complex assets such as those like Liam's 4:33 Estate Planning Lesson #1: No chosen asset management for minor child - court appoints ex-girlfriend and music lawyer 5:52 Estate Planning Lesson #2: 18-year-old inheritance age - few parents think this is appropriate for $32 million 6:35 Estate Planning Lesson #3: No provisions for other family members - parents, siblings get nothing 7:24 Estate Planning Lesson #4: Live-in girlfriend faces potential eviction with no inheritance rights 8:16 Estate Planning Lesson #5: Massive estate tax liability - 40% on $18 million could have been minimized 9:16 Key takeaway: Estate planning is essential at any age when you have assets and loved ones

In today's post, Bruce and I (Rachel Marshall) want to bring you behind the scenes of a candid and educational conversation we had with Matt Ewald, Vice President of Life Insurance at Advisors Excel. If you've ever wondered when and why to use guaranteed universal life insurance (GUL) —especially in the context of estate planning—this one is for you. We've been having more and more conversations with families who aren't just thinking about how to grow their wealth—but how to keep it intact for the next generation. And when estate taxes enter the picture, the stakes change. It's not just about protecting income anymore—it's about protecting impact. About making sure what you've built doesn't get lost in fees, confusion, or government claims. Because when it comes to life insurance in the context of wealth transfer, you're not just planning for protection—you're planning for legacy. Let's get into it. Why This Conversation MattersFrom Infinite Banking to Estate Strategy: A Shift in FocusGuaranteed Universal Life insurance 101: What It Is (and Isn't)Estate Planning and the Tax ConversationThe Myth of “Set It and Forget It”What About Accessing Capital?Roth Conversions, IRA Taxes, and Legislative RiskThe Real Value: Peace of Mind, Not Just Rate of ReturnWhat We CoveredBook A Strategy Call Why This Conversation Matters If you're like most of our clients, you're already successful. You've created wealth, you've stewarded well—and now you're asking deeper questions. Questions like: How do I pass on what I've built with intention? How do I shield my estate from unnecessary taxation? Is whole life the only tool for this? Or is there something else I should consider? In this blog, we're breaking down exactly what guaranteed universal life insurance is, how it's different from traditional IULs and whole life, and why it could be a strategic piece in your legacy plan. From Infinite Banking to Estate Strategy: A Shift in Focus We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about whole life and its power as a privatized banking system—a way to store capital, access liquidity, and fund your life on your own terms. But not every financial goal calls for cash accumulation. Sometimes, the goal isn't to use the money during your lifetime at all. It's to transfer wealth efficiently, minimize estate taxes, and ensure your heirs receive more—without the friction and loss. And that's where guaranteed universal life enters the scene. Guaranteed Universal Life insurance 101: What It Is (and Isn't) Matt Ewald described guaranteed universal life insurance as a permanent term contract. That phrase stuck with me. Here's what it means: GUL is designed to give you the most death benefit for the least premium. Unlike cash-rich whole life or traditional IULs used for banking or income, GUL is a protection-first strategy. The focus is not on growing cash inside the policy. The focus is on locking in a death benefit that will be there guaranteed—no matter what the market does. And what makes it guaranteed? The no-lapse guarantee rider. This rider is the linchpin. It says, “As long as you pay the premium exactly as illustrated, this policy will not lapse—no matter how the underlying market indexes perform, no matter what cap rates change, no matter what happens behind the scenes.” It's simple. It's predictable. And it's ideal for estate planning when death benefit certainty is the priority. Estate Planning and the Tax Conversation Here's the reality we're facing: The estate tax exemption today is high—around $13 million per person. But it won't stay there forever. Just 20 years ago, it was $1 million. And the political winds are already shifting toward reducing the exemption again. That means more families will face estate tax exposure in the future—even those who don't consider themselves “ultra-wealthy.” And taxes at death are not just a theoretical prob...

In this episode, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the impending changes to the Washington State estate tax, including updates to the exemption limits and tax rates.

“Usually, people are not trying to kill you or keep you alive for nefarious reasons, unless you're very old and very rich and very mean.” -Patricia De Fonte When most people think of estate planning, they imagine dividing assets among children or a spouse—but Patricia De Fonte, founder of De Fonte Law, offers a broader and deeper perspective. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Patricia to explore what “estate planning with heart” really means, especially for those without children or partners. People often name child-free individuals as caretakers without their consent, adding invisible burdens. To anybody in this situation, Patricia urges taking ownership: ask questions, know what's expected, and ensure fair compensation. Far from dry legal jargon, Patricia's approach to estate planning is a refreshing blending of emotional realism with practical wisdom. The stories she shares—from hospital disputes to posthumous family rifts—tell us just how crucial it is to name the right people, update our documents, and make our values explicit. She encourages everyone to assemble a personal and professional support team, use tools like detailed healthcare directives, and even consider gifts for healthcare proxies as acts of compassion. Plan not just for assets, but for relationships and peace of mind.   Key Topics: Patricia's Philosophy on Estate Planning (03:38) Burden of the Unasked Role (05:11) The Dangers of Safe Deposit Boxes (07:04) Healthcare Directives and Family Conflict (08:59) The Reality of Fiduciary Roles (15:17) “What do You Mean by Liability?” (32:33) Updating Documents and Avoiding DIY Pitfalls (39:16) Stephanie and Kevin's Wrap-Up (49:43)   Resources: DeFonteLaw.com De Fonte Law on YouTube     If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes Attorney Bethany Niman, from Idaho to the podcast. As a solo lawyer, she opened Bright Star Law in Idaho. Her focus is on Estate Planning and Criminal Defense cases and is able to practice in Idaho and Montana. Currently, she is offering basic Estate Planning packages for  $250.00, which includes Simple Wills, Medical and Financial Power of Attorney, Declaration of Living Will, and Declaration of Homestead. Also, discounts are available for couples and veterans.     Today we discussed the dilemmas that Pro Se Litigants face in the family courtrooms where accountability is overlooked and children are handed over to the  abuser. We also discussed that there is a pattern to this and a case that is not a "one off."       A mother that hasn't seen her children in 10 months for no reason and has evidence of the abuse, while the abuser has issues himself, shows clearly that the mother should be given full custody. This case is clear cut however, Judge Chad Gulstrom thinks otherwise. Perjury and contempt have now added to the "Wild West," of the family court system.There will be an update on this case.     We also discussed the Decker Case that made the news and was referenced in the article, ABC News: "Father who killed 3 daughters was 'active dad' but the 'system failed' him, ex-wife's attorney says," written by Megan Forrester.To Reach Attorny Niman: Facebook, Bethany.Niman@starlawid.com or 208-223-1618 Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

June 14, 2025: Discord in Margaritaville, Trade Tensions, and the Dollar DebateWe're back this week with a mix of headlines and hard truths—from estate drama to economic indicators that could shake the markets.We kick things off with a real-world look at just how messy estate planning can get—even when it's done in advance. Jimmy Buffett's widow is suing to remove a co-trustee from the $275 million marital trust, claiming withheld financials and questionable income projections. It's a high-profile reminder of why clear communication and trustee responsibilities matter.Next, we turn to the global stage with U.S. and Chinese negotiators meeting in London and May's CPI report due, markets are bracing for impact. Could tariffs be quietly driving inflation—and how might that shape Fed policy going forward?With excessive tariffs on Chinese goods, we examine how trade policy is affecting Temu and Shein, with stocks slumping and sales dipping. Are consumers pulling back, or are they simply shifting where—and how—they spend?Finally, we separate fact from fear when it comes to recent headlines. Is the U.S. dollar really in decline? What would that mean for multinational earnings, global portfolios, and the proposed BRICS currency?From estate planning to economic strategy, it's a packed episode you won't want to miss.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

The Leadership Legacy: Estate Planning with Purpose In this insightful series, I sit down with Sara Ecklein, a California-based professional fiduciary, to unpack the often-overlooked leadership responsibility of estate planning. We explore how proactive planning—through trusts, wills, and end-of-life directives—is not just about assets, but about clarity, care, and legacy.

In this episode, Rory speaks with Danny Lohrfink, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Wealth.com, and Julie Johnson, founder of XY Communication, about their contributions to The Holistic Guide to Wealth Management and how estate planning and communication are changing the way advisors serve clients. Danny explains how modern estate tech is making these conversations more accessible, scalable, and easier to understand for clients at every wealth level. From automating updates to visualizing legacy goals, technology is helping advisors focus more on planning and less on paperwork. Julie shares how to connect across generations and genders, and why women and younger clients are looking for advisors who listen, simplify, and build relationships based on trust and empathy. Together, they highlight how CPAs and advisors can deliver family-office-level care by acting as the quarterback, facilitating values-based conversations, and guiding clients through meaningful decisions. Want to learn how visuals and AI are transforming estate planning? Curious how to better engage the next generation before the wealth transfer happens? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this insightful conversation with Danny Lohrfink and Julie Johnson.

How do you turn your resources into a tailwind for your kids, not a headwind?In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: Customizing your children's inheritance to what fits your family. Inheritance transfer that is led with purpose, not tax mitigation, in mind. Establishing a committed form of generosity to the Lord.The importance of communication at appropriate ages and stages.   Key Takeaways: Knowing what to give to the next generation should be more than just dividing your estate equally.  You can love your kids equally, but treat them uniquely. Giving each child the same amount may not be the right decision for your family. Are the decisions that you're making for your family based on empowering your children or controlling them?Make sure you and your spouse are on the same page with a unified purpose.   "What could you do today for your kids (or in some maybe it's grandkids or great grandkids) now to start investing in that full inheritance?" —  Cale Dowell About Cale Dowell: After diving deep into the hurdles clients face when picking a financial partner, Cale determined that financial advice should offer more than just managing a portfolio. He left Morgan Stanley to help launch Arkos and “Rebuild Wall Street” by creating a paradigm shift in the way the wealth management industry serves and impacts people. His passion is rooted in the mission to help families thrive across generations.Cale is a published thought leader in vulnerability analysis and risk mitigation. He is the creator of Wealth Languages™, a captivating public speaker, and has consulted with many of the world's largest corporations. His diverse experience spans technology, commercial real estate, O&G, private equity, and startups. Cale spends an inordinate amount of time igniting contagious, positive environments and investing in relationships… because culture devours strategy for breakfast. After graduating from Baylor University, Cale tied the knot with his Aggie sweetheart, Lynne, and now calls Houston home with their two little ones. They are actively involved in their church and Young Life, where Cale has served for over 15 years. He is a 40 under 40 recipient, actively contributes to several non-profit boards, and is a 7th-generation Texan. Not surprisingly, he is just as stubborn about Texas as you would imagine. Connect with Cale Dowell:Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/ Email: cale.dowell@arkosglobal.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caledowell/  Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/Podcast: https://www.generousbusinessowner.com/Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-upEmail: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw
