Trust Us: Estate Planning Mistakes That Could Cost Your Family (8/2/2025)
Description
This weekend, Brian and Jeremiah go into the realm of estate planning, focusing on the misunderstood but crucial tool: the revocable living trust. They answer listener questions from California to Florida, explaining step-ups in basis, trust-based ownership, and how titling mistakes can send your estate straight into probate.
The real-world implications of leaving property outside of a trust, the legal difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts, and why funding your trust matters just as much as setting it up. They also address common misconceptions, like whether trusts protect assets from lawsuits or divorce—and offer guidance on avoiding costly oversights.
Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy—it's for anyone who wants their legacy to pass smoothly and privately to the next generation. If you've ever thought about leaving property to your kids, this conversation will change how you plan for the future.
