If you missed the first episode of our "Character Matters" mini-series, we discussed the differences between Community and Separate Property and why the "character" of your assets matters in estate planning. As a quick recap: Separate Property includes assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritances during marriage, while Community Property consists of assets acquired during the marriage. Now, as we start Part Two, we're delving into the deeper details of property types and how specifically to estate plan for each of them. Join us as we explore important topics such as whether you should consider a pre- or postnuptial agreement, what to consider when signing one, and how the process works. Whether you're single, married, or even remarried, this episode is a treasure trove of valuable information, so don't miss out! Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:45 We're getting straight to the point: Character matters when estate planning because you can't give away what's not yours. Sounds simple, right? 2:55 If you're interested in estate planning for your second marriage, you'll want to listen to this portion as we discuss how the type of asset affects what you can do with it. 4:01 Even though you can't personally choose whether an asset is legally considered Community or Separate Property, you can change its character. Here's how. 5:39 Is a prenuptial agreement right for you? Here's an example of when you might want to consider one and what you can include. 6:41 Postnuptial agreements can also be an option if you're already married. If you're doing your estate planning with us, we'll work with a family law attorney who can help navigate the process.
When it comes to funding your trust with assets like cars, mobile homes, and boats, it can get a little complicated and confusing. For instance, do you know whether or not you need to retitle your cars to your trust? And when it comes to mobile homes, before you can even determine whether you should retitle it, you must first know if it's registered as a vehicle or a home. And what's recommended for cars and mobile homes differs completely from boats. In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, we explore these topics in detail to answer some of our most commonly asked questions so you can be more knowledgeable about properly funding your trust. After all, your trust's effectiveness is directly tied to its assets. So, listen in now! Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:36 The first asset we're starting with is cars. Should you retitle them? Here's what you need to know. 2:48 Bonus Tip: Here's a way to retitle your vehicle without visiting the DMV. 4:11 Mobile homes—are they a vehicle or a house? The answer varies, and therefore, so does how you include them in your trust. 9:24 If you have a boat and would like to include it in your trust, you don't want to miss this segment.

Typically, when we think of estate planning, we only consider planning for after death. But what happens if you become incapacitated? That's where a Power of Attorney enters the picture. Incapacity planning is a significant component that is just as important, if not more important, than most other aspects of estate planning. Think about it. If you're in the hospital, you don't want to wait for your loved ones to go to court to access your funds to pay for care. You want care right away! So, in this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, we're addressing all the major ups and downs we've seen our clients face when navigating Powers of Attorney. Listen in to learn how to avoid the most common mistakes and ensure your Power of Attorney is ready to go if it is ever needed. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:55 To start, we're covering the basics: What is a Power of Attorney? 2:55 There are two types of Power of Attorney – springing and immediate. Here's what you need to know. 3:40 Did you know that many Power of Attorney agreements include requirements such as getting two doctors to sign off on your incapacity “under penalty of perjury”? 5:35 You can have more than one Power of Attorney, but it's best only to have one. 8:45 An Institutional Power of Attorney only applies to a specific financial institution for which you sign the papers. 10:11 Next, let's discuss how to make updates if you have multiple Powers of Attorney and want to change who has access to what.

While the exact details of OJ's estate structure remain unknown, the estate will probably undergo probate due to the presence of creditors. Listen in as we cover all the details we know so far and share some essential estate planning wisdom with you along the way. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:23 Here's what we know about the executor handling OJ Simpson's estate and the public statement made. 3:35 Next, we're summarizing the current legal tension with the Goldman family. 5:33 The Goldmans want their rightful payout from the Simpson estate. However, much of his assets are tied up. 7:36 Listen in as we discuss what it means to go through the probate process and the executor's role. 8:55 When divvying up money from an estate, the probate expenses and executor must first be paid, as well as super creditors like the IRS.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Owner of Bambiz Marketing, Jim Blake. Jim Blake delved into the unique marketing challenges faced by elder law attorneys. Unlike other areas of law where billboards and flashy advertisements may work, elder law and estate planning require a different approach. Jim explained that their marketing strategy focuses on triggering thoughts in potential clients' minds when they are online, unknowingly scrolling through their feed. They use content, such as webinars, to provide valuable information and engage with potential clients. One of the key insights Jim shared was the importance of following up with potential clients after registering for an event. He explained that the success of a live event is measured by the percentage of registered attendees who show up. For webinars, a 50-60% attendance rate is considered successful. Jim emphasized the need for personal engagement, suggesting that someone from the firm should thank registered attendees for signing up and inquire about their specific questions or concerns. This keeps them engaged and increases the likelihood of their attendance. Bambiz Marketing provides free resources on its website, such as podcasts, ebooks, webinars, and training videos, to assist attorneys in their marketing efforts. Jim believes that by providing valuable resources, they can potentially reach a wider network through referrals. He also mentioned that Bambiz Marketing is transparent about its pricing and encourages potential clients to explore its website and utilize the available tools and resources.
