#407 The Business of Being Dead: How to Protect Your Family, Assets & Sanity with Ali Goff
Manage episode 489576160 series 1510077
đ â ď¸ This is the episode you didnât know you desperately needed. đĽ
Wills, trusts, probate... sounds boring? Think again. This convo might just save your family thousandsâand a whole lot of stress. đđ¸
This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, Iâm joined by estate attorney and certified performance coach Ali Goff, whoâs not only brilliant but also shows up to legal talks in a T-shirt that says âFuture Dead Person.â So you know weâre going to have fun while talking about something that usually feels⌠well, kind of morbid.
In this honest and surprisingly juicy convo, weâre digging into trusts, wills, and the documents every adult needsâbut most avoid until itâs too late. I brought Ali on the show (and to our upcoming retreat in Salt Lake City đ) because she knows how to make complex stuff digestible and, dare I say, enjoyable. She also drops some wild stories that might just light a fire under your adulting.
Whether youâre 35 or 75, this episode will make you laugh and realize just how much stress (and money) you can save your family by planning now.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Why estate planning isnât just for the rich or the retired
- What actually happens when you die without a will or trust (hint: itâs not pretty)
- The $50K+ mistake most families make without realizing it
- Why online legal templates might cost you more than they save
- The difference between a will and a trustâand why one skips court drama
- What documents every parent must have in place (especially for guardianship)
- How to make sure your family isnât left scrambling in a medical or financial emergency
