Here’s something no one thinks to warn you about when you hit your 40s and 50s: you’re going to have to deal with aging parents. And while it might start with something like a minor medical scare, details related to their health and eventually their death can quickly become the thing that keeps you awake at night. Do they have a will? If so, where is it? What about an advance directive or a power of attorney? All of a sudden you realize how little you know about your parents’ preparation—and then what you have or haven’t done for yourself sets in. This is a true story that Brierley and I both experienced recently. And so, as we prefer to do, we called in an expert to guide us. In today’s episode, we’re talking with estate and trust planning attorney Jennifer McEwen. She answers all of our questions and also shares some of the biggest mistakes she’s seen and how to avoid them.
Our guest on the episode is Jennifer McEwen, estate and trust planning attorney with Maynard Nexsen in Birmingham, Alabama.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
