Manage episode 420666085 series 1900058
You’re working hard to build wealth, but without estate planning, your assets could easily land in the wrong hands, causing your family a great deal of trouble. No one likes thinking about their death, but you NEED to tackle this issue head-on if you hope to preserve your legacy!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, we’re tackling two of the most taboo topics—death and money—with estate and elder attorney Jenny Rozelle. If you’re nearly ready to retire, you MUST develop an estate plan. Otherwise, intestate succession laws will determine your fortune’s fate. Even if you’re young and have little to your name, there are basic steps you can take today to ensure that your current and future assets don’t go to the wrong person.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to find the BEST estate planning attorney and prepare for your first meeting. Jenny also shares the truth behind probate and why it isn’t nearly as painful as it sounds!
Stick around for part two, where we rapid-fire estate planning questions at Jenny as she shares information even we didn't know about!
In This Episode We Cover
Basic estate planning documents every person needs (regardless of age)
What really happens in probate court (and why it’s NOT as scary as it sounds)
Intestacy explained, and how to stop your assets from landing in the wrong hands
How to make sorting out your estate as easy as possible for your loved ones
And So Much More!
