Estate planning isn't just about protecting your wealth and passing it on to your beneficiaries—it's about ensuring a seamless transition for your loved ones while minimizing taxes and legal complications. With tax laws constantly evolving and real estate values climbing, many families could face significant estate tax liabilities. And yet, most people often save their estate planning needs for another day. In this episode, Derek Gregoire and Keith Ellis, Jr. are joined by Keith McManus, a seasoned estate planning attorney with nearly 30 years of experience helping families protect their assets. As the founder of McManus Estate Planning, Keith specializes in trusts, tax-efficient strategies, and probate avoidance. His firm has been a trusted resource for families and business owners looking to optimize their estate plans, and he has been a great partner for us for many years. In our conversation, we'll break down the most common estate planning mistakes, why Massachusetts residents need to be aware of the $2M estate tax threshold, and how to avoid probate headaches. You'll also learn how small adjustments—like updating trusts, reviewing beneficiaries, and structuring assets properly can have a massive financial impact on your legacy.  In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why the Massachusetts' estate tax could kick in sooner than you think. Estate plans are only effective if they're up-to-date with current information. How poor planning can lead to probate, delays, and extra costs. How married couples can double exemptions with proper planning. Why real estate values may eventually push estates into taxable territory. Want the Full Show Notes?

When a first responder arrives on the scene, they don't always have the privilege of knowing exactly what to expect. And many of these calls are high pressure situations where seconds can make the difference between life and death. First responders provide protection to their community, but there is also a need for them to provide protection for their families should anything happen to them at the scene or even years later. That's why we're thrilled to be joined by Keith McManus and Dave Chaves. Keith and Dave are attorneys from McManus Estate Planning, and they know how difficult it is for a family to settle an estate when a family is already suffering and recovering from a tragic event.   In this episode, we dig into the importance of estate planning for first responders, why estate planning is important for adult children, and why meeting with an expert estate planner is crucial to make sure everything is done properly so that you and your family are protected. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The benefits of having a will and the added benefits of having a trust. The key components of living trusts for first responders. How to start the estate and trust planning process. How to incorporate your family's values into its estate planning documents. Want the Full Show Notes?

Estate planning is a critical part of the retirement planning process. As we kick off the new year, this is a perfect time to ensure that your plan is up to date. Things change over time. That includes our lives, our family, and even the laws that apply to estates. This means the wills, trusts, and other estate documents that protect our families and secure our legacies may need to change, too. With that in mind, we're thrilled to have Keith McManus, attorney at McManus Estate Planning, back on the podcast. In our conversation, we discussed the downside of not reviewing and updating your estate plan, different ways to protect your biggest asset such as the family home, and the pros and cons of life estates and much more. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Reasons why a “set it and forget it” strategy can put your estate at risk. How to take advantage of incredible opportunities before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunsets in 2025. Why you may want to prepare estate plans to protect young adult children, even if they haven't accumulated much wealth yet. What it means to create a life estate–and the potential risks and benefits of this approach to retirement. Why there's no such thing as a cure-all trust–and how this makes estate planning more important than ever. Why you never want to rely on a will as the backbone of your estate plan.

Join us as we dive into the idea of the landscape as a powerful metaphor for the journey of life that we're all on. As part of Woodmere's "Pennsylvania Landscape in Impressionism and Contemporary Art” exhibition, we’ll hear from various artists and curators like Brian Peterson, Emily Brown, Peter Rose, Keith McManus and Ron Tarver. We'll explore parallel tracks in the way today’s artists view and love the beauty of the landscape, just as the Pennsylvania impressionists had more than a century ago, and how the urgency to preserve it still remains as Maura McCarthy of the Friends of the Wissahickon will share with us. We'll hear about how the Wissahickon Valley Park has inspired a strong sense of place for artists and the general public over the years.
