Join Wendy Norman, End‑of‑Life Planning Consultant, and Steven Schindler, Estate Attorney, for a grounded, practical conversation about the essentials of legacy planning — something every adult needs, no matter their age or stage of life. Together, they'll break down what a Will actually does, when a Trust might be the better tool, and what really happens — financially and procedurally — if someone dies without either. You'll also learn how a Durable Power of Attorney works while you're alive, why its authority ends the moment you die (and what takes over afterward), and how the absence of planning can leave families facing court processes they never expected. Finally, Wendy and Steven will explore the part of planning that often gets overlooked: documenting and communicating your wishes. How you want your assets handled. Who do you want to receive what? Which charities or community organizations do you want to support? When you share these decisions ahead of time, you give your loved ones clarity, confidence, and one of the kindest gifts possible — peace of mind. Wendy Norman has been researching and engaging with end-of-life issues for over 15 years. Wendy's interest was sparked by her mother's diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's in 2006. This is when she learned how important it is to have a plan before becoming ill, especially when cognitive decline is involved. Wanting to help others understand the value of pre-planning, Wendy became an end-of-life planning consultant in 2017. In 2019, she left a 25-year career in marketing and program management to invest her time and energy toward end-of-life planning, education and awareness. In 2020, she helped create and lead a team of volunteers to launch an education and awareness program called End of Life Ready hosted by End of Life Washington. Building on that experience, Known Wishes was created to broaden and deepen end-of-life education. Steven J. Schindler is an estate attorney who helps individuals and families design comprehensive strategies to achieve their family, business, and charitable goals. His practice includes estate, will, trust, and tax planning and administration; planned charitable giving; nonjudicial dispute resolution; and the preparation of gift and estate tax returns. Known for his ability to tailor solutions to each client's unique circumstances, Steven guides clients through everything from optimizing tax advantages to developing meaningful charitable giving plans to navigating sensitive family dynamics with clarity and care. As an active member of the community, Steven serves as treasurer of the King County Cultural Development Authority (4Culture). He has also held leadership roles as president of the Estate Planning Council of Seattle, president of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Section of the King County Bar Association, and served as a board member at End‑of‑Life Washington.

In this episode of Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, Dean phones in the monologue before Dave and Sebastian take the reins for a wide-ranging show. We open on the markets, where the rotation out of technology and into value has been the story of the summer, and where the chip stocks in particular have been testing everyone's patience with sharp swings in both directions. We talk through why that volatility comes with the territory in the AI space, how we think about it as long-term investors rather than getting shaken out of good companies, and why the earnings underneath all of it keep telling a story worth paying attention to. That leads into the bigger picture on the AI revolution, from the massive data center buildout that is really just getting started, to the eye-opening fact that a huge share of this quarter's earnings growth across the market is now tied to AI infrastructure. We get into the names in the middle of it all, the compute race playing out between the biggest companies, and why we still believe we are in the early innings of this cycle. The heart of this week is a conversation with our estate planning attorney we partner with, Jonathan Scibilia, and it is exactly the kind of thing that sets our one-stop-shop model apart. We dig into what happens when a minor is named as a beneficiary, why a conservatorship is a costly headache most families never see coming, and how the right trust structure can protect your heirs and keep more in the family. We also get into inherited IRAs and the ten-year rule, incentive trusts that reward the milestones you care about, and why getting this right up front saves so much down the road. We also cover the new Trump accounts now available for eligible kids, the ongoing situation with Iran and where oil goes from here, and a few individual stories moving stocks this week. And as always, we come back to the plan, because coordinating your investments, your taxes, and your estate under one roof is the whole point of what we do.

Something new starts here. This is the very first episode of The Nick Hiter Show, a brand-new show I'm launching outside of The Hitstreak — a different format, a different kind of conversation, and a space to go deeper on the stuff that doesn't always fit the usual mold. Thanks for being here from day one.In this opener, I get into the complexities of navigating legal challenges — specifically the impact of lawsuits on personal and family life. I share the frustration of the legal process, the emotional toll it takes, and the lessons I've learned through adversity. We also get into transparency in business relationships, why trust matters so much, and the personal growth that comes from hardship — with some honest reflection on parenting and raising resilient kids along the way.Key Takeaways:- Legal battles can be a long and frustrating process.- Time is a critical factor in legal disputes, often driving up costs.- The emotional toll of lawsuits can affect family dynamics.- Transparency in business relationships fosters trust and collaboration.- Personal growth often comes from navigating difficult situations.- Parenting involves teaching resilience and handling adversity.- Criticism can be a valuable tool for personal development.- Building trust requires vulnerability and openness.- Life experiences shape our understanding of relationships.- Adversity can lead to significant personal and spiritual growth.Follow and contact:Instagram: @nickhiterSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Most designers skip the conversation that determines whether a client actually trusts them through the hard parts of construction. And by the time they realize it, they're already mid-project trying to unwind frustration that could have been avoided entirely. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to cover before a single wall comes down — timelines, contingency, allowances, change orders, daily disruption, and the four emotional stages every construction client moves through. Not as a checklist. As a conversation that builds real trust from the very first call. You'll learn: Why your first client call is already doing two jobs at once What to say about money, timelines, and change orders before they become problems The four emotional stages every client hits — and how naming them changes everything Mentioned in this episode: Join The Designer's Edge waitlist here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/construction-management-interior-designers Grab Your Free Script Guide here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/push-back-script-handout Access the full video interview with Elana Steele of Steele Appliance here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/appliance Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/pre-construction-client-conversation

Most people focus on making money, investing money, and reducing taxes. But very few stop to ask a more dangerous question: Can someone take this from me? In this episode of The Practical Wealth Show, Curtis May sits down with Mark Pierce, a trust and LLC attorney with more than 42 years of experience in asset protection, complex tax planning, and estate preservation strategies. Mark is the founding attorney of Wyoming Trust Attorney and works with families, business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals to help structure wealth so it is better protected from creditors, lawsuits, divorce, and other threats. What makes Mark's perspective unique is that he has seen asset protection from both sides. Earlier in his career, he served as a bankruptcy trustee, where his job was to attack weak structures and recover assets for creditors. Today, he uses that experience to help clients build protection designed to hold up under pressure. In this conversation, Curtis and Mark discuss: Why making money is only half the job The difference between a revocable living trust and an asset protection trust Why LLCs alone may not be enough How insurance, trusts, and legal structures work together Why timing matters in asset protection What "too late" really means when a lawsuit or creditor issue appears Why business owners, doctors, dentists, and real estate investors need to think differently about risk How family wealth can be exposed through divorce, poor planning, or lack of structure Why Wyoming is often used for domestic asset protection planning Why your wealth protection team should include more than one advisor This episode is not legal advice. It is a practical conversation designed to help business owners and families ask better questions before life, lawsuits, creditors, divorce, or business risk put their wealth under pressure.

By 2048, an estimated $124 trillion will change hands — the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Roughly $105 trillion to heirs, $18 trillion to charity. And here's the uncomfortable truth: about 70% of family wealth disappears by the second generation, and 90% is gone by the third.In this week's Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon dig into what the great wealth transfer really means — not for the economy, but for your family. They unpack why wealth preservation is far more behavioral than investment-driven, what the Vanderbilts got wrong and the Rockefellers got right, and the Warren Buffett principle every parent and grandparent should know. Most importantly, they walk through the four conversations every family needs to have before the money moves — and the simple first step you can take this week.What you'll learn:Why $124 trillion in motion could be a generational blessing — or a great wealth disasterThe statistic that should stop every family cold: 70% gone by generation two, 90% by generation threeWhy wealth preservation is behavioral, not investment-drivenThe tale of two fortunes: Vanderbilt vs. RockefellerThe four conversations every family must have before the transferA practical first step you can take this week — and the BFG white paper that helps you run your own family meetingPlus Money In The News:General Motors and Lockheed Martin announce a new multi-billion-dollar defense manufacturing partnershipJeff Bezos proposes eliminating federal income taxes for the bottom half of U.S. earners — and what it would actually mean“The job interview is broken”: how AI is reshaping hiring on both sides of the tableRead the companion blog: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/blog Schedule a free consultation: https://app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsulta Browse the full Money On Tap library: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact Us - Phone: 855-226-8551 - Email: info@yourmoneyontap.com - Office: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110 - Web: brayshawfinancial.comSecurities and advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

Building wealth is only half the work. Protecting it is the part most people forget. That's where this conversation starts. Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Mark Pierce, a trust and LLC attorney with more than 42 years of experience in asset protection, complex tax planning, and state law strategies. Mark brings a unique perspective because he once worked on the other side, examining trusts and asset structures in bankruptcy court to see where they failed, so creditors could get to the money in them. Now, he uses that experience to help people build structures designed to withstand real pressure. They talk about why owning assets in your personal name creates unnecessary risk, how LLCs and trusts work differently, and when women should start thinking about asset protection as they build wealth. Dr. Felecia asks the practical questions many investors may be wondering: Should you set up protection before you have significant wealth? What happens if you own rental property in your own name? How do LLCs protect you? What is the difference between a revocable living trust and an asset protection trust? And how do you maintain these structures once they are in place? This conversation is a reminder that building wealth is not just about making money. It is also about protecting what you are creating. 00:00 – What Bankruptcy Court Taught Mark About Asset Protection 08:30 – Why Trust Laws Have Changed 09:47 – The First Step in Protecting Real Estate Assets 13:20 – What Happens When Assets Are in Your Personal Name? 15:24 – LLCs, Trusts, and Protecting Wealth From Divorce 22:23 – Why a Wyoming Trust Can Matter Even If You Live Somewhere Else 23:55 – Who Actually Controls the Trust? 26:53 – When Is Asset Protection Worth the Cost? 30:23 – How Many Properties Should Go in One LLC? 32:10 – Which Retirement Accounts Are Protected From Creditors? 33:06 – Why You Need a Team Around Your Wealth 34:41 – Domestic Asset Protection Trusts, Private Family Trust Companies, and Purpose Trusts 37:17 – Revocable Living Trust vs. Asset Protection Trust 38:38 – How to Maintain the Trust Once It Is Set Up 40:48 – First Steps for Protecting What You're Building You've worked hard to build your career.

Trust in pastors has hit an all-time low. In 2001, 64% of Americans rated clergy as honest and trustworthy. Today it's 27% — the steepest drop of any profession.But here's the strange part: as trust collapses, the hunger for church keeps growing, especially in younger generations.This week on Redemption Talks, we get honest about why the church has earned so much of this distrust, money, accountability, lavish living, church hurt, and what it would actually take to rebuild it. Because trust is broken in a second and built over a lifetime.If you've ever wanted to walk back into a church but couldn't bring yourself to trust it again, this conversation is for you.
Catholic Money Mastermind - Financial Planning conversations with Catholic CFP® Practitioners
Today, Ben welcomes Matthew Bearth for a thoughtful conversation on estate planning, legacy, and the deeper purpose behind wealth stewardship. Together, they explore how financial planning extends far beyond simply passing down money, instead centering on how families can communicate values, intentions, and faith across generations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of preparing not only legal and financial documents, but also ethical wills and letters of instruction that help heirs understand the meaning and responsibility attached to inherited wealth. Ben and Matthew also reflect on the temporary nature of material possessions, encouraging listeners to view money through the lens of eternity rather than control or accumulation. As the conversation develops, they unpack charitable giving strategies—particularly donor-advised funds—and how families can use them to create lasting impact, involve children in philanthropic decisions, and steward assets in a tax-efficient way. From business liquidity events and appreciated stock positions to retirement assets and inheritance planning, the episode highlights practical tools that can help families simplify complexity while remaining aligned with their values. Ultimately, Ben and Matthew invite listeners to approach estate planning not as a cold legal exercise, but as an act of love, clarity, and intentional discipleship that blesses both family and community long after they are gone.Key Takeaways:• Estate planning is about more than distributing assets. Financial planning should consider both temporal and eternal priorities.• Ethical wills can communicate values and intentions to heirs.• Nonprofits and ministries depend on ongoing donor support.• Donor-advised funds help families delay charitable decisions while securing deductions. Families can use charitable planning to create multigenerational impact.• Good financial advisors help clients align money with personal values. Financial guidance can include emotional, spiritual, and relational coaching.• Clear plans and communication create peace of mind for both families and beneficiaries.Key Timestamps:(02:00) – No-Plan Consequences(04:13) – Probate Costs and Trusts(08:37) – Defining Legacy Values(12:46) – Stewardship and Readiness(17:32) – Ethical Will and Letters(24:17) – Lifetime Giving Strategy(32:25) – Donor-Advised Funds Basics(40:56) – Wrap-Up and ContactKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://www.boxfinancialadvisors.com/team/matthew-bearth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewbearth/ More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Olivia Rodrigo joined Ricki and Tim to celebrate the release of her new album and gave a rare glimpse into the whirlwind that's been her life over the past two years. From becoming pen pals with Robert Smith from The Cure to filming a music video inside the Palace of Versailles, Olivia shared some of the surreal moments that still leave her pinching herself. She also opened up about the importance of keeping good people around you, why her song titles are always a little unexpected, and the special connection she feels with parents and kids who come to her shows together. Plus, Tim managed to convince Olivia to say "Stupid Song" with an Australian accent, which might be worth the download alone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Probate is one of the most misunderstood topics in estate planning. Many people know they want to avoid it, but few understand what probate is or why it exists in the first place. This week, attorney Kyle Rinaudo of Reeves Law, P.C., joins us for an in-depth conversation on the facts and fiction surrounding probate, including its purpose, the role it plays in settling estates, why it often carries a negative reputation, and what families can realistically expect when navigating the process.Original Air Date: June 13, 2026Read the Article: https://www.henssler.com/before-you-try-to-avoid-probate-understand-it
Jimmy Wales on Wikipedia, Trust, and AI's Disruptive Future This week's guest, Jimmy Wales, discusses how Wikipedia grew from an experimental, volunteer-edited side project spun out of the failed top-down Nupedia, from early “Hello, world” days and primitive accounts to organic traffic and press, and now a nonprofit with about 650 staff supporting tech, operations, fundraising, legal, and trust-and-safety while volunteers govern content. Jimmy explains why he wrote a book on trust amid documented declines in trust in institutions, contrasting Wikipedia's imperfect but “honest” reputation and open editing model, and argues trust fundamentals are timeless, advising young workers to build trust through reliability and teamwork while rejecting toxic workplaces. We also cover Change My View's collaborative culture, rising wealth inequality and risks of regulatory capture, concerns about misguided regulation like the UK Online Safety Act, AI's varied benefits and copyright-policy dangers, looming job disruption (truckers, junior lawyers) and potential unrest, and how Jimmy experiments with agentic AI projects and practical automation while emphasising knowledge, history, and adaptability.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements). Contact approach: 15‑minute intake, then a four‑meeting process (legacy planning → design → review → signing). Notable Quotes (for pull‑quotes & captions) “Think of a will as a letter to the judge… a will still has to go through probate court. “A trust allows families to bypass probate altogether so they aren’t paying legal fees or leaving things to people who want to challenge the will. “Life insurance is a huge tool—it can help the family pay off the mortgage so they can keep the home and the equity.” “Estate planning is a strategy—not just documents.” “Even 18‑year‑olds should have powers of attorney—parents can’t just call doctors once kids are legal adults.” “I stay in my lane—I’m an attorney. I work closely with trusted financial professionals and make non‑compensated referrals.” “For special‑needs planning, don’t jeopardize need‑based benefits—use the right trust so support continues. “I want to build a sustainable practice that lets me serve my community and rest well, aligned with my family and values.” Quick Action Items (for listeners inspired by the episode) Draft or update POAs (financial and health) for every adult in the household, including college‑age children. Evaluate whether a revocable living trust makes sense to avoid probate and retain post‑death control. For business owners: review operating agreement / buy‑sell, add key‑person insurance, and create a business POA. Families with special‑needs dependents: consult on special‑needs trusts to protect benefits. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1985, 67% of Americans rated pastors high in honesty and ethics. Today? Just 27% - and only 17% among those under 35. It's one of the steepest trust declines of any profession. The question isn't if this affects your church - it does. The question is what you do about it. ============================= Table of Contents: ============================= 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - The Numbers Are Worse Than You Think 3:38 - Why This Happened 13:18 - How to Rebuild Trust Through Communications THE 167 NEWSLETTER

Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements). Contact approach: 15‑minute intake, then a four‑meeting process (legacy planning → design → review → signing). Notable Quotes (for pull‑quotes & captions) “Think of a will as a letter to the judge… a will still has to go through probate court. “A trust allows families to bypass probate altogether so they aren’t paying legal fees or leaving things to people who want to challenge the will. “Life insurance is a huge tool—it can help the family pay off the mortgage so they can keep the home and the equity.” “Estate planning is a strategy—not just documents.” “Even 18‑year‑olds should have powers of attorney—parents can’t just call doctors once kids are legal adults.” “I stay in my lane—I’m an attorney. I work closely with trusted financial professionals and make non‑compensated referrals.” “For special‑needs planning, don’t jeopardize need‑based benefits—use the right trust so support continues. “I want to build a sustainable practice that lets me serve my community and rest well, aligned with my family and values.” Quick Action Items (for listeners inspired by the episode) Draft or update POAs (financial and health) for every adult in the household, including college‑age children. Evaluate whether a revocable living trust makes sense to avoid probate and retain post‑death control. For business owners: review operating agreement / buy‑sell, add key‑person insurance, and create a business POA. Families with special‑needs dependents: consult on special‑needs trusts to protect benefits. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
