Estate planning isn’t just about legal documents; it’s about protecting your legacy, avoiding family conflict, and making sure your wishes are carried out. In this episode, Liz walks through several common estate-planning mistakes she sees in practice, from outdated beneficiary designations and unfunded trusts to how taxes and real-estate transfers can derail good intentions.

Here’s some of what we discuss in today’s show:

  • Avoiding family conflict through clear communication
  • Trusts vs. wills: privacy, speed, and the importance of funding your trust
  • Establishing POAs early, waiting until a crisis often limits options
  • Looking at your beneficiary designations on a regular basis 
  • Reducing taxes for your heirs
