Whether you live in California or elsewhere, understanding how a trust works can protect your assets, prevent costly probate, and ensure your wishes are honored. From successor trustees to buy-sell agreements for business owners, Jason and Alex share real-life stories — some tragic, some uplifting — that illustrate why planning ahead is critical. They explain:
In this episode, we pick up where we left off—diving into the second half of the top ten estate planning mistakes people make and how to avoid them. Trusts are where we pick up the conversation, and we emphasize that they are tools, not one-size-fits-all solutions. Using the wrong trust, or one that isn't necessary, can actually create more problems than it solves. We stress the importance of intentionality—choosing the right tool for the right issue, and understanding the specific goals and laws relevant to each person's situation, especially given varying state estate tax thresholds like Oregon's low $1 million.From there, we explore how conflicting or vague instructions can derail even well-meaning plans. When wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations don't align, chaos can follow. “Fairly” and “equally” may seem interchangeable, but they're not, and those subtle differences can lead to confusion, resentment, or even legal battles. We also caution against naming just one child with the “plan” that they'll distribute assets informally—that's a recipe for tax issues and strained family dynamics.Ignoring taxes is another frequent oversight. Many people don't realize how estate planning decisions can trigger income, capital gains, or estate taxes. Planning won't erase taxes, but it can eliminate nasty surprises. We revisit digital assets too—crypto, photo storage, password managers—emphasizing that if no one can access them, they may as well not exist. These assets require thoughtful handling, not just from a distribution standpoint, but also accessibility.Finally, we tackle the often-overlooked issue of naming the wrong fiduciary. This isn't an honorary role—it's a job. Too often people pick fiduciaries based on birth order, guilt, or assumptions rather than capability and willingness. We share stories illustrating how the wrong choice can create unnecessary complications, and how the right person isn't always the obvious one. Jag shares how he's not at all upset that his brother is in charge of their parents' estate.To wrap, we recap all ten estate planning pitfalls discussed across both episodes and remind listeners to align legal documents, assets, and intent—while working with professionals who know how to navigate the complexity.

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches! In today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast the panel explored how to build a strong business pillar around divorce leads by approaching them with neutrality, structure, and empathy. Tim led a case study walkthrough from first contact to closing, highlighting the emotional complexity of divorce compared to probate, and stressing that a single misstep can end the opportunity. The team emphasized the importance of clear, consistent communication with both spouses and attorneys, setting expectations early, and avoiding emotionally charged language. Bruce and Jim discussed how to use data, not emotion, when guiding clients through listing decisions, while Alyssa introduced a new downloadable divorce toolkit including checklists, scripts, and marketing templates. Bill Bird shared how staying neutral helped him earn listings and post-sale business from both divorcing spouses, and how net sheets became a key tool for diffusing tension and moving deals forward. The episode wrapped with reminders to lean on professionals for mediation when needed, focus on life-event nurturing, and always lead with value. With divorce rates rising, the panel encouraged agents to seize this opportunity and position themselves as the steady, trusted guide during turbulent transitions. Key Takeaways Stay neutral and avoid taking sides to maintain trust with both spouses. Set clear expectations early around timelines, communication, and decisions. Use data like net sheets and comps to guide conversations, not emotion. Be mindful of emotionally sensitive dates and keep both parties informed. Build relationships with divorce attorneys for long-term referrals. Use the provided toolkit (scripts, checklists, templates) to stay organized. One divorce lead can result in multiple deals when helping both spouses relocate. #DivorceLeads #RealEstateMarketing #LeadGeneration #RealEstateProspecting Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

In probate, escrow services act as a neutral third-party to hold and manage funds and documents during the sale of estate assets. This ensures a secure and transparent process, protecting both the estate and the buyer, while also facilitating the proper distribution of funds according to the will or court orders.
Today, we look at the first five of ten common estate planning pitfalls that many people either ignore or misunderstand, and we lay out the real-life consequences of those mistakes. Estate planning is important not in terms of wealth, but in terms of reducing stress and preserving relationships when someone passes away. Whether or not someone is wealthy, a proper estate plan can prevent delayed decisions, misallocated assets, and elevated emotions for surviving loved ones - during a very stressful time.The first pitfall we tackle is not having a will at all. If someone dies without a will, their state—not their estate—decides who inherits what, based on legal formulas that ignore personal relationships or intentions. These formulas differ by state and often don't align with what people assume will happen.Next, we highlight the danger of outdated documents. Many people who think they're covered by old wills or plans don't realize that state laws or life changes—like moves, marriages, or children—can render those documents ineffective. We share a story of a family who thought they were protected, only to find out their paperwork didn't align with their current state's laws.Then, we move into beneficiary designations, which can override a will because they're treated as contracts. If those designations are outdated, such as naming an ex-spouse, the wrong person could end up with assets, regardless of what the will says. This is why reviewing beneficiaries regularly is crucial.The fourth pitfall is unfunded trusts. Setting up a trust isn't enough—it has to be funded, meaning the assets need to be formally moved into the trust. Without doing this, the trust is an empty safe, and the probate process still applies. We discuss a case where a well-intentioned trust ended up being completely ineffective because it wasn't properly funded.Finally, we address the lack of incapacity planning. Many people forget to prepare for a scenario where they're alive but unable to make decisions. Without healthcare directives or powers of attorney, families may have to go to court just to pay bills or make medical decisions—adding legal stress to already emotional situations.We wrap up by reiterating the importance of having clear, updated, and legally valid documents in place—not just for your sake, but for those you care about. In Part 2, we'll continue with the next five pitfalls to avoid. To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

5 ways to avoid probate revision
Imagine having someone looking after YOU as a business owner. Business owners often focus on cash flow, payroll, and acquiring new cash flow. Neglecting to plan for life-changing events like tragic accidents or temporary disabilities hinders continuity in your business. Andy Fankhauser offers a process to help business owners, their partners, and families make smooth transitions if the owner is incapacitated or worse. After speaking with Andy, I realized I never considered a backup plan for my French-themed inn, in case I couldn't manage it for a few months. I mentioned having $300,000 in life insurance to cover expenses for the inheritor while they sold the property—this only prepares for unexpected death. Andy pointed out that without a method for someone to authorize payroll or pay bills through the business bank, outstanding debts and expenses won't be paid. Life insurance alone is not enough. Andy suggests taking steps with your bank to ensure someone can continue business operations if you're unable to sign those checks or make withdrawals.. He guides you through a preplanning process for both temporary setbacks and death. Andy has over ten years of banking experience and saw firsthand the impact of COVID on business owners. A recurring issue: no plan for alternate people to access business funds if the owner is incapacitated or has passed away. Banks CAN require probate to access funds. Probate of business accounts can take months to years, preventing crirical payments. This scenario can be avoided with proper planning—Andy specializes in this area. He looks after YOU as a business owner and helps you avoid catastrophes.

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches!In today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast, the team delivered a structured presentation on how to ethically and effectively work with late mortgage leads (homeowners who are behind on payments but not yet in foreclosure). Tim began by explaining the scale of this growing issue and how All The Leads has expanded its offerings beyond probate to include late mortgage, divorce, aged expired, and pre-probate leads. Coach Bill led with an emotional perspective, sharing his own past experience of losing multiple homes and underscoring the importance of empathy, gentle outreach, and avoiding alarmist language. Coach Bruce focused on having consultative conversations, asking about a homeowner's goals before presenting tailored solutions like cash offers, listing, refinancing, or short sales and emphasized building curiosity and trust early on. Coach Steve broke down creative strategies including subject-to financing, leasebacks, and delayed cash sales, highlighting how these can provide flexible, ethical exits for sellers when structured properly. Coach Aline closed the main presentation by identifying red flags and stressing the importance of listening, educating families, and protecting vulnerable homeowners from predatory offers, particularly elderly sellers. The team also promoted a limited-time offer to access late mortgage leads and tools via alltheleads.com/offer536, and encouraged attendees to reach out to support for a copy of the slide deck. The episode wrapped with a reminder to implement at least one idea from the discussion and return next week to share progress.
