What You’ll Discover
Five things most families are never told — and most lawyers never bring up.
01
Choose the Right Guardian
Go beyond the obvious choices to ensure your children are raised by someone who truly shares your values.
02
Understand the Jargon
Learn the difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts, and between healthcare proxies and living wills.
03
Avoid the “Probate Trap”
See why individual assets freeze upon death — and how to keep funds flowing for mortgage, tuition, and childcare.
04
Plan for the Modern World
Find out why a folder in a drawer isn’t enough, and how conventional planning quietly fails today’s families.
05
Navigate the New York Tax “Cliff”
Minimize state and federal estate taxes so your children’s inheritance stays with them — not the government.
