Real stories of Estate Plans gone wrong

Описание: Estate plans go wrong more often than most families realize. In this video, I’m sharing real stories of plans that completely failed and the costly, stressful consequences that followed.

From handwritten wills and online templates to unfunded trusts and missing documents, these mistakes can lead to years of probate, family conflict, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. My own family experienced it firsthand when my grandmother’s plan failed twice, resulting in eight years of probate and more than $200,000 in attorney’s fees.

These situations aren’t rare. I see them in my office every week:

Wills done online that don’t protect special needs children
DIY plans that are not legally valid
Trusts created but never funded
No protections against incapacity or elder financial abuse
Missing original wills that lead to contested guardianship

The truth is simple. Estate plans only work when they are created correctly and fully implemented. If your goal is to keep your family out of court and out of conflict, you need guidance from someone who specializes in estate planning and understands how these documents hold up in the real world.

If you’re not sure whether your current plan would actually work, this video will give you a clear idea of what to look for and what steps to take next.
