533: What Even We Didn’t Know About “Protecting” Our Wealth

533: What Even We Didn’t Know About “Protecting” Our Wealth

Are you working towards FIRE or building a financial legacy? Then DON’T skip this episode! What’s the point of creating generational wealth if it will be lost after you’re gone? Jenny Rozelle, estate and elder attorney, is back on the show to answer some of our most pressing questions about wills, trusts, estate planning, and everything in between! She’s got some answers that even personal finance experts Mindy and Scott didn’t know. And if you’re just starting to think about preserving your future wealth, this episode may shock you, too.

From “napkin” wills to bad inheritances, protecting your heirs’ wealth from potential future divorce, and whether or not you’re owed millions after your tipsy Aunt promised you her vacation home, Jenny clears up all the misconceptions that most Americans have about inheritance and estate planning.

Plus, if you’ve got children or loved ones you’re planning to pass your wealth on to, it’s crucial to follow Jenny’s advice on updating your will. Neglecting to update your estate plans or planning around the wrong people could put your wealth at risk!
