Manage episode 498241314 series 3322284
In this episode of the A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, Estate Planning Attorney Arun Gupta joins Senior Financial Advisor Shawna Theriault to discuss how taking the simplest step in estate planning, creating a will, can make a profound difference. While many assume estate planning is only for the ultra-wealthy, a will helps ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, reduces confusion, and eases the burden on your loved ones during an already difficult time.
