However, it can also cost you hours and hours of your day. Many people, especially professionals used to working long hours, have realized that this isn't what they want in life. Spending whole days at the office to work harder and earn more isn't worth it. Now, the goal is to make a good living and still have enough time to have a life outside of work.Like many others, attorneys have realized they don't want to spend their entire lives at work. The question now is what to do to achieve that goal.In this episode, Laura Cowan tells us what you can do to run a successful practice with just two hours a day.

Many people believe that estate planning is only for high net worth individuals. But as Laura Cowan and I discuss in this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, having an estate plan is crucial regardless of your financial situation. Laura is a trusts and estates attorney based in Midtown Manhattan, and the founder of the Law Office of Laura Cowan. She joins me to dispel some common myths around estate planning, including why it's important to have a healthcare proxy and power of attorney in place, and why planning is particularly important for unmarried individuals with limited resources. Laura also provides insights into the key documents involved in estate planning and the factors to consider while selecting the right trustee. You'll hear Laura and I discuss: Estate planning is not just for the wealthy, and having an estate plan is important for everyone, regardless of their financial status. Unmarried individuals with limited resources should prioritize estate planning as they might not have the resources to deal with any unexpected events. Furthermore, planning is more complicated for them as they don't have the option to leave everything to a spouse and children. The healthcare proxy and financial power of attorney are crucial documents in estate planning as they enable someone to make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. The person you choose as your financial power of attorney should be someone you trust because they will have the same power over your assets that you have A living trust can be a better option than a will because it avoids probate, which can be expensive, time-consuming, and a public process. Trusts can also provide privacy, ease of distribution, and the ability to set up guardrails for how and when your children inherit your money. A trustee does not need to have expertise in investing or managing money and can hire outside professionals for help. Factors to consider when choosing a guardian for minor children include their values, morals, and potential changes in their marital status. Even if children are older, it is important to name legal guardians in a will to ensure that their best interests are met.

I recently sat down with Laura Cowan, the creator of the 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer and one of the first people to pioneer an online-based model for her industry. We spoke about how her online program helps lawyers build their own lifestyle practices. This market is hot right now, there's a lot of demand. And Laura is a prime person to speak about it.

Everyone needs trust and estate planning when getting divorced - even you! It's not about how much money you have, but protecting what you do have so it goes to the people you want, and not your ex. We've got all the do's and don'ts. (Guest: Laura Cowan)

In this episode, we’re talking about estate planning. As in wills, trusts and powers of attorney. I know, it’s not sexy, but it is important. Estate planning isn’t just something for people with a lot of money. It’s about making things as easy as possible for your loved ones when you’re gone, and whether you’ve got $10 or $10 million in assets, that matters. If you’re thinking that having a will takes care of this, you may be surprised to learn that a will doesn’t do that much - and can create serious legal and financial headaches for your beneficiaries. Furthermore, if you have children, I cannot stress this enough: please get an estate plan in place along with appropriate life insurance. If you get in trouble and really need life insurance or estate planning documents in place, it’s often (unfortunately) too late, and whether you’re new parents or retirees making plans for your golden years, it’s highly likely that you need more than just a will to protect your family and your assets. If you’re wondering what to do next, today’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio is for you. I’m joined by wills, trusts, and estates attorney Laura Cowan. Based in New York City, Laura was named a 2019 Rising Star by Super Lawyers, an award only given to the top 2.5% of attorneys in the Greater New York area, she’s spoken at the UN Headquarters about estate planning for non-citizens, and she has been featured in Forbes Magazine. Most importantly, Laura is an attorney who can actually speak to people about this complex topic without overwhelming them! So, are you ready to truly understand the difference between wills and trusts, learn how to best protect your life’s work and your loved ones, and find out how to build an estate plan to best suit your needs? Then you don’t want to miss this episode. Tune in to Profit Boss® Radio today! Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio: Why having a will and not a trust guarantees that your beneficiaries will end up in probate court - and why this process often costs up to 5% of your estate and takes years to complete. Which of your assets cannot be passed down in a will - and how naming minors as primary beneficiaries to assets like life insurance and 401(k)s can leave your money in a stranger’s hands until your children turn 18. Why most people choose to create a living trust instead of a will - and the components that go into an estate planning package. The dangers of letting minors collect their whole inheritance at 18 - and what happens if you don’t name a successor guardian for your minor children. How asset protection trusts differ from living trusts - and how to best protect your assets from creditors. How a trust can protect your assets in the event that your spouse dies and you remarry. Why you shouldn’t create your own estate plan online - and why you should choose to work with a flat-fee estate planning attorney over one who charges by the hour. MoneyWise Segment: Should You Refinance Your Mortgage? If you listened to last week’s episode, Coronavirus & Your Money, you heard all about what NOT to do during a crisis. And while your investments are likely down, so too are mortgage rates. I have heard from people who are getting quoted on refinances at remarkably low rates and a lot of people are wondering, “should I refinance my mortgage?” Don’t miss today’s MoneyWise segment where I answer that question and share my best advice!

Laura Cowan, estate planning attorney in New York City, and I discuss who needs wills, living wills and health care proxies (spoiler alert: pretty much everyone needs one or more of these!), what to consider when selecting guardians for children, making preparations for an unforeseen health crisis and what happens to all those user names, passwords and logins when you die. Laura explains the process of getting documents together, but more importantly, brings up issues you may not have thought of but definitely need to consider, regardless of your age or level of wealth. http://www.angliaadvisors.com/blog/clients-estate-planning http://lauraecowanlaw.com/ http://lauraecowanlaw.com/events/

You know, it's never a perfect time to talk about things like life insurance, estate planning and wills. It's kind of a downer. But, your financial life would not be so solid if you didn't take care of these issues. I think it's important that we talk about them on this podcast. To help us, I brought on Estate Planning Attorney, Laura Cowan. She just wrote a free e-book that you can all download here or by visiting momdadfreebook.com. It's called Wear Clean Underwear!, the subtitle is: A Fast, Friendly and Essential Guide to Estate Planning For Busy Parents. Laura practiced law for many years at a big legal firm before opening up her own practice in New York City. She drafts wills, trusts and other documents to make sure families are taken care of. She has seen it all. Experienced it all. We go right to the topic and find out why we need wills, how do we get one and what about life insurance? Do you really need it?
