Step into Pixar’s Coco with 82 Toothpicks and discover why this vibrant, musical journey might be the most poignant elder law lesson ever put on screen. From ofrendas and “blessings” to being remembered after we’re gone, Thad, Ethan, and Joselyn reveal how Coco turns legacy, consent, and caregiving into a living blueprint for real families.

We unpack estate planning essentials—powers of attorney, health care directives, wills and trusts, and probate—through Coco’s clever parallels to documentation, capacity, and who gets to authorize decisions. You’ll hear how dementia planning connects with personal history, why stories and photos protect legacy, and how transparency keeps heirs safe from Ernesto-style betrayals.
