Send us a textThe law doesn't care how romantic your story is—creditors, community property rules, and default statutes move the same way whether you're a billionaire songwriter or a hometown athlete. We dig into the real purpose of a prenup: not to plan a breakup, but to build a clear financial framework that protects income, isolates debt, and keeps your estate plan from turning into a family brawl. Using the Swift–Kelce engagement as a timely lens, we translate headline drama into practical guidance anyone can use.We walk through the biggest misconceptions first. In many states, money earned after the wedding becomes community property, even if it lands in an account titled to one spouse. That means one partner's creditors can reach the other partner's earnings or bonuses without a single misstep at home. A well-crafted prenup flips those defaults, designating income as separate, walling off business liabilities, and preventing “community liens” from quietly forming on premarital assets like homes, companies, and royalties. We also map the clauses that matter most: property characterization, income rules, debt allocation, spousal support options, disclosure and counsel requirements, and dispute resolution that keeps fights out of court.Estate planning gets a spotlight too. Clear property definitions reduce probate and trust litigation, especially for blended families balancing care for a spouse with inheritances for children. We share cautionary tales—from invalid napkin contracts to celebrity payouts—and explain why DIY templates and last-minute signatures invite disaster. If you own a business, bring a home into marriage, have kids from a prior relationship, or carry complex debts, this is your playbook for protecting love from legal fallout. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who's engaged, and leave a quick review to help more people find practical legal insight without the jargon.

[REBROADCAST from Sept. 22, 2025] If you are a beneficiary to an estate when a loved one dies, or if you're planning on creating an estate plan, there is a lot to sort through. Katrina Robinson, CEO of Teton Trust joins to share a basic checklist and take listener calls.

Tune in to learn how proactive estate planning can ease the burden for your family and spark meaningful conversations around the holidays! 

 Chris Markowski, the Watchdog on Wall Street, discusses the harsh realities of the financial world, exposing the lies propagated by big brokerage firms and the government.

What if the real financial risk isn't running out of money, but running out of time to use it well? In this episode, listen as James and Ari unpack a $14 million case study with concentrated inherited stock, sizable retirement accounts, and big questions about spending, portfolio risk, taxes, and legacy.See how a single allocation decision can swing outcomes from an eight-figure estate to running out of money by age 75. Learn why $25,000 a month versus $50,000 a month can change the end balance by tens of millions, and how to fund first-class experiences without sacrificing long-term security.Get practical about investment mix and sequence risk, including why a preservation-tilted portfolio can quietly erode optionality over decades. Then map a smarter spending design: a steady baseline plus time-boxed “experience funds” for travel and family, so you can say yes when health and energy are highest.What you'll learn (high-net-worth planning focus):Investment strategy and portfolio allocation: balancing growth and preservation, managing sequence risk, and diversifying concentrated stock.Tax strategy: timing Roth conversions, harvesting gains in low-rate windows, using QCDs to blunt RMDs, and giving appreciated stock through donor-advised funds.Estate planning: moving from revocable trusts to SLATs and grantor trusts, plus the deeper work of intent, values, and right-sized inheritances.Spending plan design: building a lifestyle-first plan that funds experiences today and keeps long-term flexibility.You'll also hear updated context on how many Americans actually cross eight figures, why common “ultra-high-net-worth” stats surprise most people, and how to turn a windfall — inheritance, business sale, or concentrated equity — into a resilient, purpose-driven plan.If the goal is money that reflects your purpose, not your fears, this conversation gives you a clear path to act with confidence.-The statements provided are from individuals who are not clients of Root Financial Partners, LLC.

The U.S. Virgin Islands formally ended its civil racketeering (CICO) lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate in late 2022 after reaching a $105 million settlement, marking the close of one of the most aggressive legal efforts to hold his operation accountable. The lawsuit had accused Epstein's estate of operating a criminal enterprise under the federal RICO framework—alleging that his private island, Little St. James, was used as a hub for sex trafficking, coercion, and the movement of victims across international lines. The territory's Attorney General's Office argued that Epstein's vast web of shell companies and real estate holdings were tools to facilitate and conceal illegal activity, effectively turning the U.S. Virgin Islands into the epicenter of his trafficking operation. By ending the case, the territory secured both financial restitution and the right to pursue claims against co-conspirators and associated entities.While the settlement concluded the direct case against the Epstein estate, it left open the possibility of continued investigations into those who helped enable his crimes within the islands' jurisdiction. The deal required the estate to sell Epstein's island properties and distribute funds to survivors, with part of the proceeds going to local anti-trafficking initiatives. In public statements, the U.S. Virgin Islands government characterized the resolution as a “victory for justice,” though critics noted that it avoided full discovery and depositions that might have exposed more about Epstein's powerful network. The case's conclusion symbolized a pragmatic end to litigation—but also reinforced a lingering frustration: even in death, Epstein managed to settle before the full truth ever reached open court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

For the 39th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Susan Davidson, curator and art historian, about her landmark book "Tom Wesselmann: The Great American Nude," published by Gagosian and Almine Rech, in collaboration with the Estate of Tom Wesselmann. Distributed by Rizzoli International Publications, New York.This conversation reveals the unexpected story behind one of Pop Art's most iconic series. Wesselmann arrived in New York with no art training and couldn't paint like his heroes—a limitation that forced him to invent something entirely new. Davidson traces how he built his visual language from found materials: candy wrappers, magazine clippings, working radios, even a leaf from his soup at Trader Vic's. "The Great American Nude" series (1961-73) emerged from a dream of red, white, and blue and evolved across one hundred works that blur high and low culture, representation and real objects, art history and American consumerism. Davidson discusses Wesselmann's strategic placement of Matisse and Modigliani reproductions within his compositions—asserting his place in their lineage—while revealing the personal dimension often missed: these paintings were his sustained tribute to Claire, his wife and inspiration. Drawing on Wesselmann's pseudonymous memoir and extensive estate archives, she shows how an artist with limited natural facility built both a distinctive body of work and a lasting position in art history.Whether you're interested in Pop Art's origins, the 1960s cultural moment, or how limitation can drive innovation, this episode offers a fresh perspective on an artist who turned constraint into creative freedom.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Susan Davidson is an independent curator and scholar specializing in Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art, with particular expertise in Robert Rauschenberg's work. She served as Senior Curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (2002-2017), where she organized exhibitions including "Jackson Pollock: Exploring Alchemy" and "Robert Rauschenberg: A Retrospective."

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse repeatedly voiced frustration that the administrators of his estate were dragging their feet when it came to compensating victims. Despite public promises that the estate would cooperate fully, survivors described a pattern of stonewalling—delays in processing claims, evasive responses to requests for documentation, and legal maneuvers that seemed designed to exhaust those seeking justice. Many said this obstruction only deepened their trauma, forcing them to relive the abuse while battling a system that appeared more interested in protecting Epstein's fortune than making amends.Lawyers representing survivors argued that the estate was hiding behind technicalities and secrecy to slow down or avoid payments altogether. Instead of transparency, the estate relied on a labyrinth of trust structures and offshore accounts that complicated efforts to track down Epstein's assets. Survivors viewed this as a continuation of the very culture of protection and cover-up that allowed Epstein to operate for so long. For them, the stonewalling wasn't just about money—it was about accountability, acknowledgment, and the recognition of the harm done, something they felt the estate was willfully denying them.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-attorney-accuses-epstein-estate-attempts-stonewall-lawsuit/story?id=71830202

Tax laws may not be flashy, but understanding them can tilt the balance for your family's finances and peace of mind. I'm digging into the details of the much-talked-about “One Big Beautiful Tax Bill”, a huge piece of tax legislation that's set to impact families, retirees, and investors across the country. I break down the most important highlights from the massive 870-page bill, focusing on what really matters for everyday listeners: permanent income tax brackets, bigger standard deductions, expanded SALT limits, and significant new deductions for seniors.  Tune in for clear, actionable insights on the changes coming to your taxes, and learn how to make these updates work in your favor. Outline of This Episode [04:27] Tax act extension highlights.[07:22] Inflation adjustment for tax brackets.[10:38] Tax deduction and SALT cap changes.[13:23] Maximize your deductions and minimize taxable income.[18:53] Estate tax and deductions update.[22:08] Permanent deductions and brackets.[23:45] Tax benefits for families. Tax Brackets and Standard Deduction: More Certainty, Bigger Benefits One of the most interesting aspects of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is the permanent extension of the income tax brackets Americans have become accustomed to since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017. Instead of the cliff that was looming at the end of 2024, current rates (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, and 32%) are now here to stay. This certainty means families, investors, and business owners can plan with clarity, knowing that the 10% and 12% brackets won't suddenly vanish. But there's more: in 2026, the 10% and 12% brackets will receive extra inflation adjustments, leading to a few hundred dollars of potential tax savings just for staying under those thresholds. While many American households may not climb out of the 12% bracket, those who do will benefit even more. Another major win is the increase in the standard deduction, now $31,500 for married couples filing jointly and $15,750 for single filers, starting in 2025. Add in automatic inflation adjustments, and the vast majority of taxpayers are now better off taking the standard deduction rather than itemizing, unless big deductions, like SALT, tilt the scale. The Expanded SALT Deduction Under OBBB, the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap explodes from $10,000 to $40,000, restoring much of the pre-2017 advantage. For married couples with large property and state income taxes, this unlocks greater ability to itemize rather than default to the standard deduction. But this expanded cap begins phasing out for adjusted gross incomes above $500,000 and is gone by $600,000. Smart, ongoing tax planning, tracking income, maximizing deductions, and timing bonuses or retirement contributions can make the difference between using the full deduction or losing out. Enhanced Deductions for Those 65+ For retirees, the bill introduces a temporary enhanced standard deduction: if you're over 65, you can...

On today's episode of the podcast I'm breaking down the good, the bad and the ugly of the Big Beautiful Bill and how it impacts small business owners. The “Big Beautiful Bill” passed in July. Trump and the right are calling it a game-changer for small businesses and working families. On the surface, there are a few provisions worth celebrating. But as always, the devil is in the details. Much of the bill's benefit flows upward, not into the hands of true small business owners, freelancers, or everyday entrepreneurs. Let's break it down. The “Good” (At First Glance) There are some shiny pieces in the bill that sound great: Bigger Deduction for Pass-ThroughsOwners of LLCs, sole proprietorships, and S-corps now qualify for a 23% deduction on pass-through income (up from 20%). If you're already making decent money, this can cut your tax bill. If you're curious how this deduction works, I discuss that towards the end of Chapter 4 in the Unf*ck Your Biz book. No Tax on Tips & Overtime (for a while)Tipped income up to $25,000 and overtime pay up to $12,500 can be excluded from taxes between 2025–2028, as long as you fall under certain income thresholds. That's a temporary boost for some service workers. This is a tricky provision that will save some folks some minor taxes. Child Tax Credit BumpFamilies get a small, temporary increase in the Child Tax Credit, nudging it upward by $200. However, the bill also introduced stricter eligibility requirements. To claim the credit, both the taxpayer and the qualifying child must have valid Social Security numbers. This change could exclude millions of children from receiving the credit, particularly affecting low-income families Permanent Expensing for Equipment Businesses can now permanently write off the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year they buy it (100% Section 179 expensing). That's useful if you're investing in new tools, tech, or machinery. Estate & Gift Tax BreaksFamily-owned businesses and farms get higher exemptions from estate and gift taxes, making it easier to transfer assets to the next generation without a huge IRS bill. This expands, once again, tax breaks for the ultra wealthy as the first $13.61 million was already excluded. The “Not So Beautiful” Reality While the headlines sound fabulous, here's what's lurking beneath: Temporary Gimmicks The no-tax-on-tips and overtime breaks expire after 2028. Same with the boosted child credit. They'll feel good for a few years, but unless Congress acts again, they vanish. Skewed Toward the WealthyAccording to the Tax Policy Center, 60% of the tax cuts in the bill would go to the top 20% of households, with more than one-third benefiting those making $460,000 or more. In contrast, the lowest-income 20% would see a tax cut of less than 1%, or about $160 on average, and including the loss of some Affordable Care Act health insurance premium subsidies, their net tax cut would fall to only about $60. Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the top 10% of earners would see incomes rise by 2.7% by 2034 mainly due to tax cuts, while the lowest 10% would see incomes fall by 3.1% due to cuts to programs such as Medicaid and food aid. These analyses highlight the disproportionate distribution of tax benefits, with higher earners receiving significantly more substantial cuts compared to lower-income households. Cuts Elsewhere to Pay for ItTo offset revenue loss, the bill guts key credits for clean energy and electric vehicles—areas where many small businesses and families were saving money. At the same time, it sets the stage for future cuts to social programs like Medicaid and SNAP that working families actually rely on. Deficit ExplosionThe Congressional Budget Office projects this will blow up the federal deficit. And history tells us that when deficits balloon, lawmakers often come for small business programs or the social safety net next. Complexity Creeps InPoliticians called this “simplification,” but the IRS and tax pros now face a mountain of changes to implement. For many small business owners, that means more time with your accountant and more money out of your pocket just to stay compliant. Health Insurance & Medicaid: The Coverage Cliff If you or your team rely on the ACA marketplace, brace yourself: the enhanced premium tax credits that made health insurance more affordable are set to expire at the end of 2025. That means monthly premiums could skyrocket. A 60-year-old couple earning $85,000 could see their annual premium jump from around $7,000 to over $22,000 (Kaiser Family Foundation). On the Medicaid side, the bill makes deep cuts—hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. It also reintroduces work-reporting requirements and forces enrollees to reverify eligibility every six months starting in 2027. Millions of people will fall through the cracks, not because they don't qualify, but because the paperwork is too complex or because they lose hours at work. For small businesses, this means: Higher costs if you cover employees. Less stable coverage for staff and contractors. Communities with more uninsured neighbors, which ultimately hurts local economies. The Bigger Picture The bill is marketed as “beautiful” because it offers short-term tax cuts and shiny perks. But it comes with a long-term price tag: exploding deficits, weakened safety nets, and higher health costs for millions. History shows us what comes next: calls for even deeper cuts to programs small business owners actually rely on, like SBA loans, workforce training, and infrastructure. So yes, you might get a slightly bigger deduction today. But tomorrow? You're looking at higher health premiums, fewer community supports, and a more fragile economy to build your business in. That's not so beautiful. My jaded take. Republicans have a tendency to cut programs that make real differences in people's lives, they phase out health care assistance, cut medicaid, and act in favor of large corporations. But then they will throw us all an extra $200 tax credit, send it with a check with Trump's signature. Maybe if we're lucky, we will get a Trump commemorative coin, a hat, or a box of steaks. Wooo. They rely on us remembering the simple things and forgetting about or not understanding the more complex laws they passed that furthers the wealth divide and makes life harder for almost everyone. As always, stay informed, keep your tax pro close, and don't buy the spin just because it comes with a flashy name.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse repeatedly voiced frustration that the administrators of his estate were dragging their feet when it came to compensating victims. Despite public promises that the estate would cooperate fully, survivors described a pattern of stonewalling—delays in processing claims, evasive responses to requests for documentation, and legal maneuvers that seemed designed to exhaust those seeking justice. Many said this obstruction only deepened their trauma, forcing them to relive the abuse while battling a system that appeared more interested in protecting Epstein's fortune than making amends.Lawyers representing survivors argued that the estate was hiding behind technicalities and secrecy to slow down or avoid payments altogether. Instead of transparency, the estate relied on a labyrinth of trust structures and offshore accounts that complicated efforts to track down Epstein's assets. Survivors viewed this as a continuation of the very culture of protection and cover-up that allowed Epstein to operate for so long. For them, the stonewalling wasn't just about money—it was about accountability, acknowledgment, and the recognition of the harm done, something they felt the estate was willfully denying them.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-attorney-accuses-epstein-estate-attempts-stonewall-lawsuit/story?id=71830202Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Estate planning isn't just for billionaires in New York penthouses or “trust fund babies” you've only seen in the movies. The truth is, whether you're raising kids, caring for a loved one with special needs, or simply want to be sure your savings go exactly where you intend, estate planning touches almost everyone. In this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, attorney Claire Steinman joins Stacy to take the mystery (and the drama) out of wills, trusts, and gifting strategies. Claire focuses her practice on estate and tax planning, estate administration, and the nonprofit sector, with experience ranging from simple wills and powers of attorney to sophisticated tax minimization strategies and contested probate cases. She also works closely with charitable beneficiaries and not-for-profit organizations on everything from testamentary trusts to federal tax exemptions. Spoiler: this conversation has a lot more peace of mind and a lot less Agatha Christie mayhem. You'll hear them discuss: Why having even a simple will is essential for nearly everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy How trusts can help protect kids, support loved ones with special needs, and even shield assets from creditors or divorce The surprising flexibility you have in deciding when and how children inherit money Smart ways to gift assets during your lifetime, including the $19,000 annual exclusion and tuition or medical payments made directly How to choose the right trustee, from family members to professional institutions, and the pros and cons of each State-specific estate tax “gotchas” like New York's infamous cliff tax and inheritance taxes in places like New Jersey and Pennsylvania Why blended families and second marriages absolutely need updated estate plans to avoid family fallout Resources Claire Steinman on the Web | LinkedIn | Email: csteinman@leechtishman.com | Phone: 212-453-1554 Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Frey Ranch Distillery (Fallon, NV) WF071 Four years ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with Colby and Ashley Frey of Frey Ranch Distillery. They had just released their first batch of Bourbon and so we discussed that, but also took a deep dive into farming and how having direct control over the grain is such an advantage. Well, the Great 48 Tour was heading through Nevada and so where better to stop in officially (since that first visit was a Zoom call) than on the farm that houses both grain and distillery. And what I visit it was. I got to walk through the malt house, see the distillery, and then get a fascinating tour of the distillery, complete with a fly over (you'll have to listen to find out what that was all about). This is definitely a deep dive episode and no worries if you heard the original interview, we're covering all new ground here, including some tastings of the great experimental whiskies that were just starting to age the last time I talked to the Freys. I will tell you though, you're going to miss a lot if you just listen to the 35 minute episode that is on the Whiskey Lore Podcast feed. On Patreon, I chat for an addition 25 minutes with dives into some of the on-going experiments at the distillery as well as some insider info and details about how Colby is making his own peat like substance.

Today, I am delighted to speak with Mohamed Elzomor, Co-Founder of Nines, a household management platform trusted by hundreds of family offices around the world. He and his co-founder Jacco de Bruijn created the company and lead its mission to bring ease, structure, and innovation to the world of household management. Mohamed and his company Nines are a FOX technology resource partner, and we are excited to have their expertise as part of our membership community. Mohamed focused his entrepreneurial attention and creativity on the niche segment of managing the private estates and household operations of UHNW families, and he gives us an overview of this space, highlighting the unique aspects of luxury estate management. He helps our audience understand what is considered a top-notch client offering and service – what does good look like – in this unique market niche. Mohamed explains how most UHNW families are managing their private properties today – whether most attempt to self-manage or they turn to professional property managers – and he paints the picture of the major pain points they UHNW clients commonly experience. When Mohamed founded Nines, he and his co-founder set out to alleviate many of the pain points experienced by both UHNW owners and their luxury property managers. He gives us an overview of the Nines platform, describing its key functionalities and the main problems it solves for families, family offices, and estate manages. One practical advice Mohamed has for UHNW families and their family offices is to learn and understand the world of estate managers – how it works and how to best engage with the professionals in this space. He shares his views on why this is important and offers his recommendations to families and their staff on what they should know on the subject. Enjoy this highly illuminating conversation with one of the most prominent disruptors and technology providers in the UHNW estate management space.

Why You Can't Miss This Episode Are you confident your wealth will stand the test of time? Or are you leaving your financial legacy vulnerable? This episode of Inspired Money takes you beyond basic portfolio talk and into practical wealth preservation strategies, from smart investing and tax planning to estate protection and next-gen philanthropy. With a powerhouse panel of financial experts, you'll learn real-world tactics to keep your money working for you, avoid costly mistakes, and build lasting financial resilience. Whether you're growing a nest egg or planning your retirement, this episode delivers the tools to protect what you've built and create a legacy that lasts.  Meet the Expert Panelists Dana Anspach, CFP®, RMA®, is the founder and CEO of Sensible Money. She's dedicated her career to helping people create sustainable retirement income plans. She's the author of “Control Your Retirement Destiny” and “Social Security Sense.” Dana's hands-on experience makes her a wealth of practical knowledge. https://www.sensiblemoney.com Jacqueline Schadeck, CFP®, AWMA®, is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, author, and speaker who helps individuals and families achieve financial clarity and build generational wealth. Inspired by her own family's experience with poor financial advice, she combines education, comprehensive planning, and community service to empower others toward long-term financial success. https://goldenws.com Kemberley “Kemcents” Washington, CPA, is a tax expert, journalist, and former IRS agent with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and communities navigate taxes and personal finance. A frequent contributor to Forbes Advisor and national media outlets like Good Morning America 3 and Fox Business, she is also the author of several books, including The Ten Commandments to Financial Healing and It All Starts with a Budget. https://www.kemberley.com Key Highlights 1. Rethinking the 60/40 Portfolio Dana Anspach challenges the traditional portfolio model, highlighting the need for personalized risk management: “It all comes down to being really clear on how you define risk… That's going to lead to different portfolio strategies that best protect against that risk.” From alternatives to ETFs, understanding your personal timeline and goals is key to crafting a resilient investment plan. 2. Modern Estate Planning Matters Kemberley Washington emphasizes staying on top of tax law changes and setting up basic legal documents, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, before moving to advanced strategies like donor-advised funds. Jacqueline Schadeck warns: “My fear is that everyone… is part of the 70% of Americans that don't actually have any estate documents in place.” Estate planning isn't optional. It's essential. 3. Business Entity & Asset Protection Simplified Entrepreneurs and investors risk everything when they mix personal and business assets. Dana Anspach shares: “You meet the wrong person at the wrong time and you never know what's going to happen… there may be simpler ways to get asset protection in place without the additional complexity.” Work with both a CPA and attorney to align legal structures, taxes, and retirement planning for maximum protection. 4. Next-Gen Philanthropy & Sustainable Investing Today's investors want more than returns—they want impact. From ESG investing to donor-advised funds, philanthropy offers tax efficiency, legacy building, and social good. Kemberley Washington notes: “More and more are not only thinking about ESG, but giving more impactful—maybe to a church, tithes, and different things of that nature.” Take Action: Protect Your Wealth Today My challenge to you this week: choose one area of your finances that feels exposed and commit to addressing it. Maybe that means calling your financial planner, researching asset protection strategies, or finally scheduling that estate planning meeting you've been putting off. Don't wait for the “perfect time.” Small steps now prevent big regrets later.

When you board a plane, you trust the pilot to get you safely to your destination. Shouldn't you be just as careful about who advises you on your financial future? Financial guidance isn't just about numbers—it's about trust, worldview, and values. The right advisor can help you make decisions that align with your faith and priorities.Every advisor brings a worldview to the table. Too often, cultural definitions of success revolve around accumulation alone. But biblical stewardship points higher—toward faithfulness, contentment, and generosity. That's why this choice is not only financial—it's spiritual. You're entrusting someone with influence over how you manage God's money, and that requires discernment.Clarify What You NeedBefore beginning your search, determine what type of help you're looking for. Do you need comprehensive planning—covering retirement, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and generosity—or just investment management? Do you want a one-time plan or an ongoing relationship? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate fit.One of the most important questions to ask is whether your advisor is a fiduciary, legally obligated to put your interests first. Compensation models vary:Commission-based advisors earn by selling products, which may create conflicts of interest.Fee-based advisors charge fees but may also receive commissions.Fee-only advisors are paid solely by clients, helping ensure objectivity.No matter the model, insist on full transparency about fees and expenses.Credentials and CharacterCredentials demonstrate an advisor's training and licensing, but character matters just as much. Evaluate potential advisors in three areas:Values – Do they share your biblical worldview?Competence – Do they have the training and experience to serve families like yours?Process – Can they explain how they build a financial plan and how they are compensated?A Practical Process for Finding the Right AdvisorBuild a shortlist – Ask trusted friends, family, or church leaders for recommendations. Explore advisors who share biblical values, like Certified Kingdom Advisors® at FindaCKA.com.Do a background check – Verify licenses, review disclosure documents, and check for disciplinary history.Interview at least three advisors – Treat this like a job interview. You're hiring for a critical role.Request a written scope and fee schedule – Get clarity in writing.Pray and take your time – Don't let anyone pressure you into quick decisions.When meeting with potential advisors, ask:“How are you compensated? Please outline every fee and expense.”“What role does faith play in your financial advice, and how do you define success?”“What's your process for creating a financial plan or investment strategy?”Proverbs 11:14 reminds us: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”Red Flags and Green LightsBe alert for warning signs such as:Promises of unrealistic performanceVague answers about feesPressure to move assets quicklyLook instead for encouraging signs:Transparent communicationA listening-first approachAdvice that integrates faith and family prioritiesThe right advisor depends on your season of life. Young families may need guidance on budgeting, insurance, and college savings, while retirees often seek tax-efficient withdrawals, income strategies, and estate planning. Ask potential advisors about their typical clients to see if their expertise aligns with your needs.Keeping Faith at the CenterA trusted advisor can help you avoid mistakes, manage taxes, stay disciplined during market swings, and design a generosity plan that reflects your calling. Most importantly, the right advisor will keep your focus on faithfulness, not just finances—helping you honor God with every decision.If you're ready to seek biblically wise financial advice, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®. CKAs meet rigorous standards of character, competence, and biblical training.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your debts when you're gone? Many assume obligations simply vanish, but the truth is more complicated. Without a plan, your loved ones could face creditors, confusion, and unnecessary heartache. Let's explore how debt is handled after death—and the steps you can take now to protect your family.Different Types of DebtNot all debts are treated the same after death.Secured Debt: These are tied to assets such as homes or cars. If you pass away with a mortgage, the heir who inherits the property also inherits the payments. Without the ability to pay, foreclosure or repossession is possible. Unsecured Debt: Credit cards and personal loans fall into this category. Unless someone is a joint account holder, heirs aren't responsible. However, creditors can claim repayment from your estate before anything goes to heirs or charities.Special Cases: Student and Medical DebtStudent Loans: Federal student loans—including Parent PLUS loans—are discharged at death. Private student loans vary: some lenders forgive, others pursue repayment from the estate or co-signer. Medical Debt: Providers sometimes write off smaller balances, but they aren't required to. With rising healthcare costs, debts can be substantial, draining family assets quickly.Protected AssetsSome resources are shielded from creditors:Life insurance proceedsRetirement accounts with named beneficiariesThese bypass the estate entirely and go directly to heirs. But accuracy matters—outdated beneficiary forms can unintentionally disinherit a spouse or child.Other Important ConsiderationsCommunity Property States: In states like Texas, California, and Arizona, marital debts are often shared. Surviving spouses may be held responsible for balances they didn't incur. Co-Signed Loans: Parents, grandparents, and friends often co-sign loans without realizing they'll be responsible if the other borrower passes away.Planning AheadBecause the rules vary, consulting an estate attorney is wise. A one-time meeting can prevent years of stress later. But the best protection is simple: live with as little debt as possible. By building margin and reducing obligations, you bless your family with both financial relief and a legacy of stewardship.Practical steps include:Reviewing accounts regularlyUpdating beneficiariesPaying down debtsOrganizing important recordsCreating a will or trustProverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children.” That inheritance is about more than money—it's about modeling wisdom, integrity, and trust in God's provision. By stewarding your finances well today, you not only provide a cleaner path for your loved ones tomorrow but also leave them with a testimony of faith that points them back to Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My grandfather set up 529 plans for my kids years ago. When my older children graduate, can I use any leftover money for my younger daughter's education? And eventually, could I split the remaining funds among all my kids?I'm the Power of Attorney for my 92-year-old mother, who has regularly helped my two sisters financially. I'd like to set up automatic monthly gifts of $1,500 to each of them to stay under the annual gift tax limit. I'm also retired and considering using some of her funds to help with my grandchildren's college expenses. Is that ethical?I'm 71 and have been doing Roth conversions for the past two years. I opened a Roth account six years ago. Can I now withdraw money from those conversions without being restricted by any time limits?I'm 63 and have about $200,000 in a 401(k) from a former employer. I'd like to move it into a biblically aligned investment, but my current plan administrator says I can't.
