The Good Steward Law and Wealth Podcast.
So we're going to talk a lot about law and wealth.
We are going to mix both topics into this and everything we talk about is how does the law side of estate planning mix with the wealth planning side of everything. So I will talk about everything you need to know, you know, what is probate, you know, what is a revocable trust, what are irrevocable trusts, we'll talk about power of attorneys, you know, everything you need to know, and we'll get in the details on those. We're going to bring in experts that are going to talk about the finance side of things. You know, you probably have a 401(k), an IRA. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about what is a Roth versus a regular. We'll talk about 529 plans.
Why is probate bad? Well, there's kind of 4 main tenets. It is time-consuming, it's public, and it's costly, and it does not always match the deceased's intent. So a lot of times you say, I want to leave my IRA or my investment account to my son. Well, you may do that, but if your son gets a divorce, then it could go to his ex-spouse and the judge will sign off saying, yes, that's a good will, or yes, it isn't. And then even if you don't have a will, you still take all of your assets of the deceased and submit it to the court. And then the judge supervises a process of how we transfer assets. A revocable trust serves two main purposes. The two main ones. Are it avoids probate, number one, and number two, it provides asset protection for the heirs, and you can leave assets in a manner that you want to leave it. Better said is you have control over how you leave assets.
That's the goal of this podcast is to lay out whatever it may be—law planning, tax planning, insurance planning—just the things that you could do to increase your wealth and manage it better.
