This episode blends cinematic drama with real-world estate planning insights you won’t see coming.
Thad, Ethan, and Joselyn unpack wills vs. trusts, probate pitfalls, and powers of attorney—plus how capacity and consent shape elder law decisions. From family farm succession and intestacy on Inisherin to trusteeship and cultural property in Indy’s world, we explore how clear documentation, beneficiary designations, and simple planning can defuse decades of conflict.
