Ep. 039 - Legacy Planning

Welcome to Attorney Heart, the podcast focused on bringing awareness to and promoting attorney well-being! Have you taken stock of your tangible and intangible assets recently, if at all? Do you own a car, home, law firm, or business? Have you planned as to how each of these assets will be passed on to your next generation? If you are not married and do not have any children, does it make sense to engage in the estate planning process now? Why or why not? Do your assets transfer privately in probate? What are the main differences between probate and having a living trust? Deborah Fujiwara is the owner of Fujiwara Law and Mediation, PC and she is an awesome expert in the area of estate planning who has the answers to these precise questions! Deborah Fujiwara’s estate planning practice focuses on families with minor children and incorporates legacy planning for the passing of intangible assets along with monetary assets, as well as full Kids Protection Planning. Deborah is incredibly passionate about her practice because each practice area represents conscious choices born from her own experiences and values. Deborah earned her J.D. from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law. Deborah is going to be presenting at the iMATER NOW Conference on August 18, 2018 and this episode provides just a taste of what she will cover - even then, this episode provides excellent estate planning information!
