@intrustlegal Exactly right. Probate isn't just expensive - it's public record. Anyone can look up what you owned and who got it. A trust keeps your family's business private.
@KCTpartners Probate costs vary wildly by state. In NC, it's pretty straightforward if the estate qualifies for summary administration. But the real cost? Time. 6-12 months minimum. That's why families plan ahead with trusts.
@AFCU Digital tools are great for DIY planning, but complex estates need an attorney. Blended families, minor kids, real estate in multiple states - those need custom guidance, not templates.
Your kids turned 18. Congrats! Now the hospital won't talk to you about them without a healthcare POA. Parents learn this the hard way every single day.
@trustandwill@Spotify@LiquidDeath Love this. Your estate plan should reflect who you are. If that includes a carefully curated funeral playlist, absolutely add it.
@trustandwill@dianacabrices Estate planning as a growth lever is smart. Once advisors see how much clients value the peace of mind, it becomes a natural part of every conversation.
@TycoonStoryCo@LegalZoom@TrustWallet Exactly right. The will vs trust distinction trips people up constantly. A will guarantees probate. A revocable living trust lets your family skip it entirely.

Let's talk about it... 🧵
What happens if Bill and Hillary Clinton testify before the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation and say that they saw Donald Trump there?
