In this episode, I sit down with someone who's quickly become both a friend and an inspiration, Kim Vassenelli, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Park Rose Estates in Syracuse, NY.When Kim took over her role, the community was sitting at 54% occupancy. Fast forward to today, and they're celebrating a full house—100% occupancy. We dive into how she made that happen, what a day in her life looks like, and how she balances empathy with sales strategy.Kim shares how “eating the frog” has become her secret weapon for setting the tone each day, how she builds authentic connections with residents and their families, and the creative marketing tactics (like “Seniors With Signs”) that are getting noticed online and in the community.We also discuss the less glamorous aspects of the job, like dealing with paid aggregators and hearing the word “no”, and how Kim has shifted her mindset to turn those challenges into opportunities.Whether you're in senior living or just looking for a fresh take on sales, marketing, and leadership, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and good vibes.

Today, “left” and “right” are the main labels we use to categorise political views, but their origins go back over two centuries. To understand, we have to go back to the French Revolution in 1789. That spring, France's King Louis XVI convened a meeting known as the Estates General, bringing together representatives from three groups, or “Estates”: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate, which represented the common people. A few months later, in July, this assembly became the Constituent Assembly. Where did it all begin? Are there other kinds of political oppositions besides left and right?

JOHANNA DAVID, Adjunct Faculty Member at Hofstra Law School is with us to talk about three estate planning mistakes and how to avoid them. Johanna is a Trusts and Estates lawyer, and a partner at Forchelli, Deegan, and Terrana. She's also the adjunct professor of law at Hofstra University. We're going to talk a little bit about mistakes that we see in estate planning and the simple things you can do to keep them away from your situation. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/gD_d9J609Vg Three Estate Planning Mistakes Chapters 00:00 The Importance of Estate Planning09:47 Common Mistakes in Estate Planning19:54 Understanding Trusts and Their Benefits24:00 Navigating Elder Care and Estate Planning Outline of "Three Estate Planning Mistakes" Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Joanna. Johanna C. David (00:03) -Three Difficult Planning Stories and What Can We Learn? Hi, thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. Frazer Rice (00:06)Well, happy to have you on because we are now, most people sort of put their estate planning off toward the end of the year, but I have a feeling given where the legislation is going, et cetera, that the crush is going to happen earlier than we think. In the meantime, you and I were talking beforehand about some mistakes that people make from an estate planning perspective and that they're very avoidable. I thought we'd take this opportunity to go into that a little bit. In your practice, maybe let's start with a couple of, or sort of the big ones that you see, ⁓ give us some ideas of some mistakes that people make that really should be avoidable. https://open.spotify.com/episode/57MMskGgp1P3fOVklGt090?si=ISap3Z_YSdqK_zg4-Dlevw Johanna C. David (00:48) - Structure and Other Planning Tactics Sure, absolutely. So the number one mistake that I think that people make is not having the proper estate planning documents. I see this happen time and time again. I don't know if it's because of the stigma. People are afraid to approach estate planning, right? Sometimes it makes your mortality very real. But the biggest estate planning mistake is not having the right documents. Everyone, everyone, I cannot stress, everyone needs to have at least a will, a power of attorney, and a healthcare proxy. And there are people that say, well, you know, I don't really have much, I don't need to do that, or ⁓ everything's gonna go directly to my husband and my children anyway. You know, that's how it works. But that's not exactly the case, right? You and I both know. So, especially if you have young children, young couples definitely want to have those things in place. You want to think about who is going to be the guardian for your child or your children if both of you pass away. And a lot of people don't think about that. And those only cause problems in the long run. I'll give you a quick example if we have time. But ⁓ Frazer Rice (02:02)⁓ please do. Johanna C. David (02:03) - Long Term Planning Issues and Avoiding Problems I remember, this was several years ago. I must have just started practicing and I had been a young attorney. So it was about 15 years ago and a woman came into the office and she and the decedent had been living together for about 30 years. They held themselves out to be married. Now, Frazer, you and I both know that New York does not recognize common law marriage. Frazer Rice (02:30)This is true. Johanna C. David (02:32) - Correcting a Big Will Mistake She was not aware of that. And so they were married for 30 years. Everything was in his name or excuse me, they were not married. They were together for 30 years, held themselves out to be married, not legally married. He owned the co-op apartment. Everything was in his name. Now he had a daughter from a previous marriage, legal marriage that was a strange. And you guessed it, our client did not get along with the daughter. So the father dies and guess who inherits the co-op that ...

The counts, dukes and ultimately kings of Württemberg had risen to the top by winning the genetic lottery. Their eldest sons tended to be competent, some even extremely so, their wives brought in dowries and sometimes entire counties, and they ruled for long enough that the next generation took over when they were ready.But all that falls apart in the 15th century. They are suddenly afflicted with the disease of dynasties, states inherited by babies and buffoons, some of them managing to be both. That would normally be the death nail for a noble House, but not this time. The Landtag, the Estates of Württemberg step in to protect the fledgling state, deposing buffoons when necessary and ruling on behalf of the babies. This is one of the lesser known and even more extraordinary political histories in europe and well worth listening to.And as a bonus we also investigate why the regions around Stuttgart, Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Freiburg have become hubs of technology and precision engineering, an area where there was no coal, no mining or any other natural advantage – except for the wine – no seriously, it was the wine.

Probate is a court-supervised process used to authenticate a decedent's will, appoint a personal representative, gather assets, pay debts, and distribute remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The process varies in duration, cost, and complexity.Key steps include initiating the case, court review and appointment of a representative, gathering assets, providing notice, handling debts, administering and distributing the estate, and tax planning. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate for smaller or uncontested estates.Tax and planning considerations include estate taxes, lifetime gifting, irrevocable life insurance trusts, grantor-retained annuity trusts, charitable giving, and integration of tax strategies with probate.Understanding both probate procedures and estate planning strategies is crucial for effectively managing the complexities of post-death property transfers. Proper planning can minimize administrative burdens, reduce tax liabilities, and ensure the decedent's intentions are fulfilled.

Probate is a court-supervised process that authenticates a decedent's will, appoints a personal representative, and oversees the gathering of assets, payment of debts, and distribution of remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The probate process can vary in duration, cost, and complexity depending on the size of the estate, the clarity or validity of the will, and potential disputes.The probate case is initiated by filing a petition with the probate court, which includes the will (if any) and the death certificate. The court then confirms the documents and appoints an executor or administrator. If the will is contested, the process may become litigious and require an evidentiary hearing.The personal representative is responsible for notifying beneficiaries, heirs, and creditors, and gathering and inventorying the decedent's assets. The representative must also pay off valid debts in a specific order of priority.The distribution of property is guided by the will or, in the absence of a will, by intestacy statutes. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate procedures for smaller or uncontested estates.Estate taxes and planning strategies can significantly impact the probate process. Lifetime gifts, life insurance trusts, and charitable giving can all be used to minimize estate taxes. Understanding these strategies is crucial, as how property is titled or transferred can affect both probate and tax implications.The personal representative must also file any required estate tax returns and ensure that taxes are paid. Estate planning can simplify the probate process and minimize taxes, ensuring that the decedent's wishes are carried out and that beneficiaries receive their inheritance with clarity.

This legal lecture provides a structured overview of trusts and estates law, specifically focusing on the creation of trusts and the duties of trustees. It begins by outlining the five essential elements required to establish a valid trust, including a capable settlor, a trustee, identifiable beneficiaries, the intent to create a trust, and trust property. The lecture then distinguishes between key types of trusts, such as revocable versus irrevocable and testamentary versus inter vivos, highlighting their differing purposes and implications. Finally, it delves into the crucial fiduciary duties that trustees owe to beneficiaries—loyalty, prudence, impartiality, and the duty to inform and account—and discusses the remedies available when these duties are breached, underscoring the significant role trusts play in comprehensive estate planning.A valid trust requires a capable settlor, a trustee, identifiable beneficiaries, intent to create a trust, and trust property.Trusts can be classified as revocable or irrevocable.Trusts can be classified as testamentary or inter vivos.Trustees have fiduciary duties, including the duty of loyalty.Trustees have fiduciary duties, including the duty of prudence.Trustees have fiduciary duties, including the duty of impartiality.Trustees have a duty to inform and account.Beneficiaries have legal remedies for breach of fiduciary duty.Trusts are a key component of estate planning.Trusts can be used to manage assets.Trusts can be used to minimize probate.Trusts can be used to reduce estate taxes.Trusts can facilitate charitable giving.

Trusts serve as highly adaptable arrangements for managing and distributing assets, both during a settlor's lifetime and after death. This lecture opens by outlining the five key elements that define a valid trust. First, there must be a capable settlor who consciously decides to create a trust and who possesses the requisite capacity to execute that decision. Second, the instrument must name a trustee (or provide a method to appoint one) who holds legal title to the property and administers it according to the trust's instructions. Third, the trust must identify at least one beneficiary – or, in the case of a charitable trust, a recognized charitable or public purpose – to receive equitable title or economic benefit. Fourth, the settlor's intent should be clear and immediate, signifying that they are presently establishing a legally binding arrangement rather than simply voicing aspirations or making incomplete plans. Finally, the trust requires an identifiable corpus, or property to be placed under the trustee's control; without property, the trust remains a mere concept rather than an enforceable structure.Once formed, trusts can adopt different forms, often divided along two main axes. One distinction separates revocable trusts from irrevocable trusts. Revocable (or “living”) trusts allow the settlor to amend or revoke them at will, preserving near-total control and simplifying estate administration upon incapacity or death. Still, assets in a revocable trust usually remain in the settlor's taxable estate and are vulnerable to the settlor's creditors. Irrevocable trusts, on the other hand, prevent the settlor from freely altering or dissolving them once created. Although the settlor relinquishes significant control, irrevocable trusts can achieve tax advantages, creditor protection, or wealth preservation across multiple generations. A second axis differentiates testamentary trusts, which arise from a will at the testator's death, from inter vivos trusts, which operate during the settlor's life. Testamentary trusts offer post-death oversight but require the will's probate first. Inter vivos trusts, whether revocable or irrevocable, spring into force immediately upon execution and funding.Trustees function as fiduciaries, bound by strict obligations. The duty of loyalty demands unwavering focus on the beneficiaries' interests, outlawing self-dealing or hidden conflicts of interest unless expressly permitted by the trust or agreed to by all beneficiaries. The duty of prudence compels the trustee to invest and manage assets as a cautious, skillful investor, aligning with any directions set by the settlor and adhering to recognized standards like the prudent investor rule. Trustees must also maintain impartiality when beneficiaries' interests differ, such as balancing income generation for one beneficiary against principal preservation for another. Clear recordkeeping and transparency constitute further requirements: trustees typically owe beneficiaries regular reports or accountings, ensuring the beneficiaries can monitor the trust's administration.If a trustee fails to observe these duties, beneficiaries may pursue remedies that include removal of the trustee, surcharging the trustee for any losses incurred by improper management, or rescinding certain transactions tainted by conflicts. Courts often order trustees to return illicit profits if the trustee exploited trust property. Although trust instruments can incorporate exculpatory clauses to shield a trustee from ordinary negligence, no trustee can be relieved of liability for willful misconduct, fraud, or brazen self-dealing. These rules confirm the profound seriousness of the trustee's role. By adhering to fiduciary norms of loyalty, prudence, and impartiality, trustees uphold the trust's purpose: ensuring that assets, once entrusted, are safeguarded and used as intended, whether that goal is straightforward estate planning, long-term wealth transfer, charitable givi

This lecture introduces the fundamental purpose of a will within the context of trusts and estates law. It explains that a will is a legally binding document outlining how a person's assets should be distributed after their death, covering aspects like property inheritance, guardianship of minors, and executor selection. The lecture contrasts this with intestacy laws, which dictate asset distribution when someone dies without a valid will, often following a predefined order of relatives. It highlights the importance of creating a will to ensure personal wishes are honored, potential conflicts are avoided, and specific needs, such as those of blended families or charitable intentions, are addressed. The lecture also touches upon the formal requirements for creating a valid will, including signatures and witnesses, and briefly discusses alternative forms like holographic and nuncupative wills. Finally, it notes the interaction between wills and other estate planning tools, such as beneficiary designations, and the role of probate in validating wills and administering estates.The fundamental purpose of a will is to serve as a legally enforceable declaration by an individual (testator) instructing how their assets should be distributed after their death. It can address the inheritance of personal items, the naming of guardians for minor children, and funeral or burial requests, ensuring the testator's wishes are followed.Generally, a valid will requires the testator to sign the document in the presence of witnesses, who also sign to attest that they observed the testator's voluntary execution. These formalities are crucial to prevent fraud and ensure the document reflects the testator's true intentions as their final instructions.Testamentary capacity refers to the testator's mental ability at the time of will creation to understand they are making a will, the nature and extent of their property, and who their natural beneficiaries would be. This is vital for validity, ensuring the testator comprehends the significance of disposing of their assets after death and is not subject to undue influence.A holographic will is written entirely in the testator's handwriting and often lacks witnesses, while a nuncupative will is an oral will, typically only valid in very limited circumstances like imminent death and requiring neutral witnesses. Courts treat them cautiously due to the increased risk of fraud or misunderstanding in the absence of formal execution procedures.If a person dies intestate (without a valid will), state intestacy laws dictate how their estate will be distributed based on a predetermined hierarchy of relatives, starting with a surviving spouse and children, then parents, siblings, and so on. This statutory scheme aims to approximate what most people might want but may not reflect the decedent's specific desires.For example, if a person lives with a long-term partner but is not legally married and dies without a will, the partner may receive nothing under intestacy laws, with the estate potentially going to more distant or estranged blood relatives. This highlights how intestacy can disregard close personal relationships in favor of legal or familial ties.Creating a will is especially important for individuals with minor children because it allows them to nominate a guardian to care for their children if neither parent survives or is capable. Without this designation, courts would have to decide who is best suited, potentially leading to disputes or placement with someone the decedent would not have chosen.Assets that pass through a will are typically those solely owned by the decedent without a beneficiary designation (probate assets). Assets that pass outside the will include life insurance proceeds, retirement accounts with named beneficiaries, and jointly held property with right of survivorship, which transfer directly to the designated individuals upon death.

This lecture introduces the foundational principles of wills and intestacy law. It explains that a will is a legal document allowing individuals to direct the distribution of their assets and name guardians for minors after death. The lecture outlines typical state requirements for valid wills, such as signatures and witnesses, and discusses alternative forms like holographic and nuncupative wills. It further contrasts wills with intestacy laws, which dictate asset distribution according to a statutory hierarchy when no valid will exists. Ultimately, the lecture emphasizes the importance of wills in ensuring a decedent's wishes are honored and potential complications are avoided.

I always love celebrating an author's debut novel with them and chatting with Janya Breigh about her first novel The Hunted Heir was a delight! Jayna worked for ten years to see her dream come true, but she has loved words since her mother first started reading books like Pat the Bunny and Go Dog Go to her. Because she is an attorney who practiced in the LA area in Trusts and Estates litigation, it was natural for her to add those elements to her book when she turned to romantic suspense with a legal twist. We talked about her favorite authors as well as what she would tell herself if she could go back and give advice to Jayna who started the writing journey. I think you'll enjoy meeting Jayna and learning more about her books. Connect with Jayna Breigh Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | X Want to watch this interview?
