About this episode
Doug chats with Sean Mullaney (The FI Tax Guy) about the essential elements of estate planning. Sean covers the importance of planning for everyone (not just the wealthy), stresses the significance of having a will, updating beneficiary designations, and creating trusts to protect assets & ensuring financial security for loved ones. Special attention is given to estate planning in regards to kids (providing guardianship) and working with the correct professionals to plan for taxes. The discussion is intended to be for general educational purposes and is not tax, legal, or investment advice for any individual.
