In the realm of property law, understanding the different types of property ownership is crucial. One of the most common and comprehensive forms is "Fee Simple Absolute." This term might sound complex, but it essentially represents the most complete ownership interest one can have in real property. Let's delve into what makes Fee Simple Absolute a cornerstone of property law.What is Fee Simple Absolute? Fee Simple Absolute is the highest form of property ownership recognized by law. It grants the owner full control over the property, including the rights to use, sell, lease, or bequeath it. Unlike other forms of ownership, Fee Simple Absolute is not limited by time or conditions, making it a perpetual interest that can be passed down through generations.Key Characteristics:Perpetual Ownership: The owner holds the property indefinitely, with no expiration date. Unconditional Rights: There are no conditions or limitations imposed on the ownership, allowing the owner to use the property as they see fit. Transferability: The property can be freely transferred, sold, or inherited, providing flexibility and security to the owner.Why is it Important? Understanding Fee Simple Absolute is essential for anyone involved in real estate transactions. It provides clarity and assurance to buyers, sellers, and investors, ensuring that the property rights are clear and unencumbered. This form of ownership is often preferred due to its simplicity and the comprehensive rights it confers.Fee Simple Absolute represents the pinnacle of property ownership, offering unparalleled rights and security. Whether you're buying your first home or investing in real estate, understanding this concept is key to making informed decisions.

In early 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Virgin Islands Superior Court seeking the reimbursement of legal fees, security, and relocation costs from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. In response, the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), led by then‑Attorney General Denise George, filed a motion to intervene in both the Maxwell lawsuit and the estate's probate proceedings. The USVI argued that it had a direct interest in the estate's assets due to its ongoing enforcement action under the territory's Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (CICO) Act—a legal framework aimed at recovering assets linked to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. By intervening, the USVI sought to protect its interest in ensuring that estate funds would remain available to satisfy potential judgments in its own case against Epstein's estate.The Superior Court ultimately denied the USVI's motion to intervene under Rule 24 of the Virgin Islands Rules of Civil Procedure, determining that the territory lacked standing to intervene as an involved party in the probate matter. The court advised that the USVI instead pursue its claims by filing as a claimant under probate statutes, which would allow it to assert its legal rights within the proper procedural framework. The USVI appealed the decision, arguing that its interest as a CICO plaintiff warranted direct participation in the proceedings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
The U.S. Virgin Islands became a central player in the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death because of his properties there, most notably Little St. James. Under Attorney General Denise George, the USVI invoked its Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (CICO) Act to place liens on Epstein's estate, effectively freezing assets tied to his criminal enterprise. These liens were designed to ensure that money and property could not be moved or dissipated before victims received compensation. George also opposed efforts by the estate to push through a victim compensation fund that included broad legal releases shielding Epstein's co-conspirators, arguing such maneuvers were a way to protect his network rather than provide accountability.The estate's co-executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, fought to have these liens removed, claiming they were overly broad, interfered with probate, and restricted the estate's ability to pay expenses or liquidate assets to fund victim settlements. Their position was that not every encumbered asset was directly tied to Epstein's crimes, and therefore the government had overstepped in freezing so much of the estate. The USVI resisted, holding that the liens were necessary to prevent further shielding of Epstein's co-conspirators and to guarantee victims would see justice. The clash underscored the tension between the estate's desire to control the narrative and finances, and the USVI's insistence on accountability and redress for those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

And, of course, Bill is from Legacy Protection Lawyers based out of St. Petersburg, Florida, and we appreciate your time once again. Bill, welcome in. How are you? Bill McQueen: Doing wonderful. Thank you. Marc: Absolutely. Good to have you back. Nick, my friend. What's going on this week? You doing all right? Nick: Oh, yeah, just fighting the Florida heat. Marc: Well, if you picked Florida, right, it's hot. Nick: I will lose. Yeah, I will lose, for sure. Marc: I mean, versus Buffalo, right? You got your choice there. Nick: Yeah. Rochester, yeah, close enough. But, yeah- Marc: Oh, yeah. Okay. Nick: ... for sure. This time of year, I'd rather be there, but it's understandable. Marc: Par for the course? All right, I got you. Well, we're happy to have Bill back. And, of course, if you guys have questions about estate planning, definitely reach out to he and his team at LegacyProtectionLawyers.com. That's LegacyProtectionLawyers.com. And Bill, we were talking a lot about, obviously, trusts and funding them, and all the different kind of pieces that go in there. So, on this final episode, this part four of the series, we want to talk about some of the common mistakes and things that you guys see as professionals, then try to help people avoid these or highlight some of the things. So, we talked as we finished off about the funding issue of a trust. What are some other common mistakes that you tend to see? Bill McQueen: First off, I would say it might not be considered a common mistake, but a common misconception. A lot of people who think that, "Well, hey, I've created this revocable trust, and so my assets aren't in my individual name. Now they're held by my trust. And so, if something were to happen and I were to be sued, for some reason, my wealth is protected inside this trust." And unfortunately, that's not the case with a revocable trust. Again, the revocable trust just acts as a substitute for your last will and testament. And because the person who creates it has so much control over those assets, they can do anything they want with those assets. If somebody were to sue them, there'd be a lawsuit of some sort, and a judgment was entered against that person who created that trust. Those creditors can get at those assets that are inside the revocable trust no differently than if they were held in the person's individual name. So, that's something that we always need to advise clients that they're well aware of. There may be other ways to protect their wealth from creditors, but putting them in a revocable trust does not give them credit or protection from that standpoint. The other thing that comes up fairly frequently is, I have real estate, and should I put it in my revocable trust or not? If that real estate is something that's not your primary home or your residence here in Florida, we would definitely say do that, and especially if the clients own real estate outside the state of Florida. They might have a vacation home in North Carolina or something like that. If they own that home in their individual name and they die, and we're using a will-based plan, not only are we going to have to do a probate administration down here in the state of Florida, but we're also going to have to do one in the state of North Carolina as well, a second one, because each state's very protective of their real estate. Whereas if they go ahead and deed that real estate into the revocable trust, then we avoid probate both in Florida and in North Carolina. The issue, though, as to the primary residence, because under Florida law or Constitution, that's considered your homestead, and there are certain benefits that come from that, like a tax break, and it makes your home creditor protected, there are some restrictions on where your homestead can go, who can get it after your death if you're survived by a spouse or minor children. And so, that comes into play as to can we put that home into the revocable trust? And it used to be we would usually advise people not to do that if they're married because of these restrictions that were involved. Now we can do it if it's done properly, but there needs to be some special waiver language and things that are included in the deed. And unfortunately, if somebody puts it into their trust and they don't do the deed properly, then when they die, it's considered what we call an invalid devise. And that home may be going to people other than where they wanted it to go underneath the terms of their trust. So you can do it, and we do it for clients, but you definitely want to make sure you're getting good advice when you're setting something up like that. Nick: Yeah, I would say that's one of the most common questions that people have. Oftentimes, what leads people to act, obviously, hopefully, it's from working with advisors and stuff like that, but people talk amongst themselves. A lot of times, it's friend or family that are like, "Hey, my brother just retired and they got a trust put into place. Do you think I should do something like that?" And sometimes, the answer's like, "Well, hey, we've been telling you to do it for the last 10 years. But also, yes, there's things that can make sense to do, but you need to make sure that you work with somebody to understand the nuances." Because I would say one of the most common mistakes that people make is when they do talk with their peers, siblings, etc., that oftentimes they don't understand the dynamics between the differences of their situations. And so, somebody like Bill and the people at Bill's team can help walk them through how that works. And the majority of people, no matter what the situation is, when they're working with an advisor or an attorney, they have some sort of real estate holding, and so that's often one of the most common questions. Marc: Yeah. No, it makes sense. With you asking that and talking about that, Nick, Bill, what's your thoughts on people who say, "Well, who should draft this?" Right? Or, "Can I just go on to one of these, for lack of a better term, robo-advisors or robo-lawyers?" Right? I mean, you should be sitting down with an attorney in your area because state to state, law is probably a little bit different. I'm sure there's some things that are probably the same from place to place, but you want to make sure you're getting advice on your specific situation, not one of these cookie-cutter type deals. Bill McQueen: No, a really good point. Estate planning is specific per the state where you're residing, and that's the laws that will apply at the time of your death, so it is important that you're talking to an attorney who is licensed in that particular state where you live. But I would definitely advise against a do-it-yourself estate plan. Marc: Right. Bill McQueen: And there are a lot of, especially with the internet nowadays, various online programs where you can draft your own will or trust. The big problem with that is you'll never know if you're the drafter of a do-it-yourself will or trust, whether you did it right, because we won't know that. We won't implement it until after your death. Marc: And you won't know until it's too late. Well, it's too late for you, obviously, but your heirs are suffering. Right? Bill McQueen: So, if there's problems with it, we can't go back and correct it or change it. So that's very important. I also always tell people it would be ... I highly recommend you go to somebody who specializes in the area of trust and estates planning. You wouldn't want me to handle a criminal law matter for you, and you probably don't want a criminal lawyer to try to draft your will or trust. And just to show you what the problems can be, as recently as within the last decade here in our state of Florida, our Florida Supreme Court had a case, that's our highest court here in Florida, where a lady drafted her own will. Actually, I think it was pre-internet. It was a form will or whatnot, but she left out of that will what we call the residuary provision, which is where the remainder of her estate goes, and that's where the bulk of her estate would go. And it was very clear, the court said, that her intentions were to leave it to her sister, but that's not what the will said. It was done improperly. And so the wealth went to someone else, and the court said they felt really bad about that, but they have to go with what the will said. And the will was validly executed and everything. It just wasn't properly constructed, and so, unfortunately, her estate went somewhere other than where she wanted it to go, and we don't want that to happen. Marc: Yeah. In a world where we can turn to the internet for so much stuff, there's just certain areas where I feel like it's just not a good idea. Right? Legally has got to be one of those. It's got to be the tops for a lot of those things. Nick, what else? Nick: Yeah. And these things tie together a little bit. I was having a conversation with a client the other day, and I've seen this in other instances, where clients in their 40s, the parents of the clients are in their 70s, and there's some concern on future healthcare planning. And from the standpoint of the transition potentially to Medicaid and/or titling assets, whether it's a home, whether it's other types of assets like investments, so obviously non-retirement, putting the kids on accounts to try to protect those assets per se and the future inheritance while somebody to qualify. Now, I know this is a long, convoluted thing, but I guess, just in general, especially in the state of Florida, maybe helping people understand is that primary homestead residence protected and/or just the definition or an explanation of step up in cost basis and how big of a deal that can be to somebody down the road. I know it's a lot there, so break it up and down, whatever. Bill McQueen: That was a lot, Nick. The issue regarding Medicaid, what I would say there is if we have clients where somebody, a parent, has maybe been diagnosed with early onset of dementia or something like that, so there's a high likelihood that they are going to need long-term care in the future. When that arises, they'd like to qualify for Medicaid as soon as possible. We can help them do that through using a trust. It's an irrevocable form of a trust where we can move assets that otherwise would be what we call countable assets, meaning that the government says you have to spend those assets first before Medicaid will take over and start paying for the long-term care. And we can move them into this irrevocable trust so that when they do reach that stage that they need the long-term care, hopefully, they can qualify right away. And this wealth that's in this trust will then ultimately still be there and able to go on to their kids rather than go to pay for the nursing home care. That, though, has to be done well in advance of qualifying for Medicaid or trying to, basically, five years in advance. So, this is definitely a very proactive, forward-looking planning-type procedure. And it's not something that can be done once they need to get on Medicaid right away or on the near-term standpoint from that part of the equation. Here's my basic advice. Whether it's Medicaid or anything else, people will say, "Hey, well, what I'm going to do, I'm going to put my children's names on accounts with me in joint names, so one, they can maybe help pay my bills and stuff like that. Two, when I die, that asset will just pass by operational law to my child, so it won't go through the probate process, and I don't have to worry about probate." I highly advise clients typically not to do that. One: when you put your child's name on that account with you jointly, at least as to regards to the bank or the brokerage house, that child now has the right to take all those funds that are in that account. Hopefully, they won't do that while you're still alive, but that could possibly happen. But two, the child might get sued or go through a divorce, and somebody else now might be trying to take those funds that are in the parent's account. So we would highly advise against that and instead, let that child maybe be given a durable power of attorney that I think Nicole spoke with you about in one of the earlier episodes so that they can help pay bills and do stuff like that, but they have no ownership rights in those accounts that maybe somebody else could get at those accounts that the parents will need before their death. One big thing for estate tax or death tax planning purposes, the amount of wealth now that people can leave at their death or give away during their lifetime is at an all-time high watermark. Very few people pay federal estate taxes anymore, less than one-tenth of 1% of the US population. And here in Florida, as a Florida resident, all we're concerned about is the federal estate tax laws. So, instead, what we focus on is income tax planning for our clients. And so it would be much better for actually those parents not to, for instance, give away assets before they die to their children because what happens is if the parents die owning assets that have a lot of appreciation in them, that's been unrealized, and by example, maybe they've got a house that they bought for $200,000 30 years ago that today is worth a couple of million dollars here in Florida, if they give that house away to the child before their death, the child gets what we call a basis in that asset that's a carryover basis. It's equal to the $200,000 the parents paid for it. And so, if the children ever sell that house, maybe after the parents die, they're going to have to recognize income tax or capital gains tax on that million eight of gain. If instead they hold onto the home, the parents, and when they die, they leave it to the children, that home then gets a step-up in basis for income tax purposes to what the house is worth at the time of the parent's death, the $2 million. So if the children sell the house soon after their parent died, they're going to pay no income tax, no capital gains tax, they get the full $2 million, and Uncle Sam doesn't take any of it in the form of income taxes. So, it's very important that people be cognizant of what the potential income tax effects could be if they're talking about giving away assets prior to their death versus holding onto them and passing them to their beneficiaries after death. Marc: Yeah, tax efficiency, right? It's just as important when we're no longer here, and our heirs would certainly appreciate that as well. Any final thoughts or anything that I didn't cover, Bill, that you'd like to share with folks when it comes to estate planning in general and what you guys do at your firm? Bill McQueen: Sure. I guess one thing I would just mention, and we've talked a lot about probate avoidance, but with a trust, a trust can do a whole lot more. And I guess I would just give one example. It's not uncommon for us to have families nowadays that are often blended families, so it's a married couple and they have children from earlier marriages. For those of my generation that grew up watching The Brady Bunch, a family like that. And by using a trust properly, what usually most married couples want to do, one thing we don't know from an estate planning standpoint which spouse is going to die first. And usually, the spouses want to make sure the surviving spouse is well taken care of for his or her remaining lifetime, and then the assets go down to all of their children from both sides of the family. So, one way to do that is just when the first spouse dies, they leave everything outright to the surviving spouse, with the hope and understanding they're going to leave everything to all six children in this example. But what can happen is when they do that and they leave the assets to the surviving spouse, that now becomes his or her assets. And again, they can change their estate plan after that first spouse died. Instead, what can be done through that revocable trust is we leave assets into a new trust, a marital trust for the benefit of that surviving spouse, so he or she's well taken care of for the rest of their life, but that trust, that marital trust, is irrevocable. And so, the first spouse to die knows their surviving spouse is going to be well taken care of, but they also know when the surviving spouse dies, where the assets are going to go, and it's locked in that it will go to their children as well and not just maybe the surviving spouse's children. And then the last thing I would say is when we pass the assets to the children, often, most people think the easiest thing is just to leave assets to the children outright. And that can be done that way, but it's often not the most effective. Often, nowadays, we will leave the assets to the children in a trust, and we'll let the children be the trustee of their own trust so they get their share of the inheritance. They have it in their own trust that they're the trustee of, but this type of trust does give that child asset protection. So, if the child ever gets sued during their lifetime, be it age 25 or 85, a creditor can't get at the inheritance inside that trust. Also, if the child is married or gets married and unfortunately goes through a divorce, their former spouse has no rights to the assets inside this trust either, because legally, the child does not own those assets individually. They're owned by this trust that the child controls and the child's the primary beneficiary of, but it's insulated from what I'll call bad people being able to get at their inheritance from that standpoint. So, that's really how we try to protect that inheritance and pass it down to the people we want and keep those creditors and predators away from their inheritance from that standpoint. Marc: Got you. Yeah. I'll ask you this final question, and I set Nicole up with this as well. Just in general, I think, mindsets have changed through the years, but people often, many years ago, thought, "Well, you have to be really wealthy to A, have a financial advisor, and B, have a trust. You must be a Rockefeller or something like that." And that's just not the case anymore. So, are you seeing more people starting to realize or understand that this could be a useful tool for them in working with someone, and not just something for the ultrarich? Bill McQueen: Oh, definitely. We serve clients of all different sizes and net worths, and I tell my clients there is no bright line test as to when it makes sense to have a trust as your primary estate planning document versus a will. But if I had to use a rule of thumb, I would say if somebody has assets that are over a couple of hundred thousand dollars, it probably is more beneficial to use a trust as the primary estate planning document rather than a will because, again, looking back to my youth, there used to be a commercial, the Fram oil filter commercial, that they always said, "Pay me now or pay me later." Marc: Right, yeah. Bill McQueen: Yes, putting a trust-based plan into place is probably more expensive than a will-based plan, but it's not that much more expensive, and all the benefits you get far exceed the cost of when they do die, what it's going to cost going through the probate process. So, just looking at it from a cost factor alone, I would say most anybody would pretty much benefit from having a trust-based plan versus a will-based plan. Marc: Bill, does that include the home value as well? Obviously, those have skyrocketed the past few years, so it'd be pretty easy to get to a couple of hundred grand. Bill McQueen: It would, yes. And I would include the home value in that as well, yes. Marc: Okay. All right, Nick, any final thoughts from you before we go? Nick: Really, I think the takeaway, and a lot of things have been pointed out, and something that we try to emphasize with people, whether it's financial planning, whether it's legal planning, is that strategy and how just a couple of decisions can make a dramatic impact on somebody's overall situation and plan. Oftentimes, and Mark, you alluded to it, where people, for many years, had this perception of, whether it's an advisor or an attorney, it's something that only people with really substantial amounts of money have. And if anything, people with substantial amounts of money, they have a bigger buffer. You know what I mean? And can make more mistakes and recover, but really, a handful of decisions for a typical client that's worked hard their whole life, saved a whole bunch, paid off their house, want to enjoy their retirement and hopefully pass on some money to their kids, they can really benefit from strategy planning and adapting to what's going on. Marc: Yeah. For lack of a better term, Middle America, right? I mean, a lot of folks in Middle America could certainly use a team, a financial and legal team.

In this episode, Tom Petty's shocking Estate Battle: Free Fallin' | EP 318, we're diving deep into the messy saga of the Tom Petty estate.Tom Petty was a rock and roll legend, but his death sparked a legal battle that serves as a hilarious (and terrifying) warning to us all.
In this case before the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, the co-executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, filed a reply brief supporting their expedited motion to vacate liens placed by the Government of the Virgin Islands. The estate and its affiliated entities—including the 1953 Trust, various LLCs, and corporate holdings—are defendants in a civil action seeking damages connected to Epstein's trafficking network. The government had imposed liens on estate assets, effectively freezing large portions of Epstein's wealth, to secure potential recovery in its lawsuit.The co-executors argue in their reply brief that the liens are improper and should be lifted immediately, claiming the government has overreached its authority and is unfairly restricting the administration of the estate. They contend that the liens impede their legal responsibilities to manage and distribute assets, and that alternative legal safeguards already exist to protect the government's claims. The filing stresses urgency, pointing to potential harm caused by the restrictions, and asks the court to expedite relief by vacating the liens.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DisplayFile.aspx (vicourts.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week we welcome Joseph O'Sullivan, Master Distiller at Minden Mill in Nevada and him and I sit down and talk about his Estate process for making whiskey, how he oversees every step of the grain-to-glass process on one estate – nothing is outsourced which is why when you drink Minden Mill, you are tasting whiskey that can only come from MINDEN MILL. We break down how estate distilling creates a one of a kind whiskey brand, the challenges and rewards of this process and how the end result is worth the extra effort when you take that first sip of whiskey goodness. This is a super fun episode, Joe is a great guy steeped in whiskey knowldge, we go back in time to when he started in the game and he walks me through how he went from sitting under the learning tree of American Single Malt pioneer Steve McCarthy to standing up Minden Mill! It's a whiskey road-trip to Nevada on today's Bourbon Showdown Podcast!
2025's ag laws, no spin. American Farm Burueau Federation Economist, Daniel Munch, breaks down what the American Relief Act and HR1 (“One Big Beautiful Bill”) actually changed for farmers, ranchers, and timberland owners: disaster aid, tax relief, ARC/PLC extensions, conservation through 2031, disease‑readiness funding—and what Washington still hasn't fixed. Why these passed: must‑pass funding + reconciliation math, not kumbaya. Core programs extended to 2031: ARC/PLC, Dairy Margin Coverage; EQIP/CSP/ACEP funded forward. CRP: not extended in HR1; needs separate action (a “skinny” farm bill or stand‑alone). Disaster money: ~$30B total in the Relief Act (≈$10B economic aid to row‑crops; ≈$20B disasters). Helpful, not enough to backfill multi‑year crop, livestock, timber, and infrastructure losses. Drought trigger fixed: LFP now four consecutive weeks of qualifying drought (down from eight). Rancher win: LIP now 100% compensation for federally protected predator kills (wolves/grizzlies). State block grants: Flexibility for hard‑hit states (e.g., hurricane zones) that can include timber. Taxes you can actually use: Estate tax exemption permanent at $15M / $30M couple; 199A stays; bonus depreciation back; Section 179 expensing up to $2.5M for equipment and capital improvements (barns, fencing, irrigation). Clean fuel credits (45Z): benefits risk getting stuck at processors unless contracts force value back to growers. Disease readiness: $233M/year mandated for stockpiles, diagnostics, training—real money to keep herds healthy. Market context: Land values up but margins down; these programs support lender confidence but don't erase price pressure. Foreign land ownership: Data/reporting gaps are real; enforcement and look‑through need teeth; private‑property rights vs. national‑security concerns. Why SNAP stays in the farm bill: urban votes keep farm programs alive. No SNAP = no votes = no farm bill.

Jim Elliot once wrote, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”“Generous” might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think about pro athletes, but Kirk Cousins is rewriting that playbook. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback in the NFL is using his platform—and resources—for eternal impact. Today, we'll hear how his faith shapes everything from football to finances.Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons and a veteran leader in the National Football League (NFL). He previously spent six seasons with the Washington Commanders and six with the Minnesota Vikings. A four-time Pro Bowler and outspoken man of faith, he is also the cofounder of the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation, which supports families and youth through faith-based initiatives.A Legacy of Generosity: Lessons from His ParentsGrowing up as a pastor's kid, Cousins remembers how his parents modeled generosity long before he had a bank account of his own.“My mom had the gift of hospitality,” he says. “Even when I didn't think I needed money, she'd hand me two twenties before I went out with friends. There was just this open-handedness.”While his dad managed the family finances with intentionality, it was his mother's willingness to give freely that left the deepest mark. “It was caught, not just taught,” Cousins reflects, emphasizing how their example shaped his understanding of stewardship early on.From Minimum Wage to Signing Bonuses: A Crash Course in StewardshipWhen Cousins was drafted into the NFL, his first check—a six-figure signing bonus—was a wake-up call.“As a college kid who had never earned more than minimum wage, I didn't know what to do,” he recalls. “I called my dad, and he said, ‘I don't know either!'”That moment marked the beginning of a stewardship journey—one that included learning to give, save, and live below his means in a world of excess. It wasn't easy, especially when surrounded by peers embracing a more lavish lifestyle. But Cousins understood that as an athlete, his income had a shorter runway.“You're approaching a cliff,” he says. “So it's scary to give when your career has an end date. But that's where faith comes in—trusting that God will provide beyond your own earning power.”It would be easy, Cousins admits, to treat financial obedience like a checklist—give, save, repeat. But biblical stewardship isn't about rules; it's about surrender.“I've done that—just checked the boxes. But that's not the abundant life Jesus promises. It's not religion, it's relationship.”He points to Jesus' parable of the treasure in the field (Matt. 13:44): “Once you see Jesus as the treasure, everything else becomes a logical response. Of course you'd sell everything to have Him. Stewardship flows from seeing Him clearly.”When Faith Feels Risky: Giving on a Diminishing TimelineThe tension for Cousins lies in balancing the enjoyment of God's provision with wisdom about the future.“I actually enjoy those moments that require more faith. When I give, and I don't know what's next, it puts the pressure back on God—where it belongs.”But he's quick to acknowledge the gray areas. “What's wise versus what's excessive? There's no formula. You have to walk with God and ask for His guidance daily.”One of the most valuable pieces of advice Kirk received early in his career came from a generous mentor: “Always give in unity with your wife.”That advice stuck.“When Julie isn't comfortable, I pause and pray. Her perspective might be the Holy Spirit speaking. Giving together strengthens our marriage and our stewardship.”Cousins sees their giving not only as a financial decision, but as a spiritual discipline of unity and trust.Planning for the Future: Wisdom Before WealthAs parents to young boys, Kirk and Julie have also had to consider how best to plan their estate. They've established a family office to prepare for the future—but with a strong desire to pass on wisdom before wealth.“We want to get to the end of our lives and say: the wisest hands to put this in are our kids'. But we also want to be realistic. If it wouldn't be wise to pass along wealth, we want our plan to reflect that.”Much of their estate will also go to their foundation, which they hope will be spent down soon after their passing. “We don't want it to live on in perpetuity with intentions we never had. We want to make an impact now.”So, where is Kirk Cousins most excited to give right now? The answer goes back to his roots.“I went to a Christian high school—Holland Christian—and it profoundly impacted my life. I want to make it more affordable for other families, support teachers, and strengthen Christian education.”It's a full-circle moment: a public school kid transformed by Christian community, now investing in the same kind of life-shaping environments for others.Final Whistle: A Life Well StewardedKirk Cousins is more than an NFL quarterback. He's a husband, father, and faithful steward who is using his influence to glorify God—not just in the end zone, but in the quiet decisions of budgeting, giving, and planning for the future.His story reminds us: Stewardship is not about how much we have—it's about how faithfully we respond to the One who gave it all.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own my home outright and keep hearing about home title protection services. How real is the risk of title fraud, and should I be concerned?I have rental properties in Arkansas, but my kids in California don't want them. I'm worried that when I pass, they'll sell them quickly for way less than they're worth. Should I go ahead and sell them now and put the money in a trust for my grandkids' education—or is there a better option?”Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Julie & Kirk Cousins FoundationWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
