062 | Creating an Estate Plan And Why It's Important | ft. Mark Stefan


Listen Later

Death is not an easy subject to talk about, but it is also something that ABSOLUTLEY SHOULD be talked about – from an estate planning perspective, at least.  In this episode, Will and Tim talk about this topic with Mark Stefan, a successful wealth planner who has been in the industry for 38 years. Mark breaks down this uncomfortable subject, explaining everything from how an estate plan should be part of a larger financial plan to the various components of an estate plan.

Throughout our discussion, Mark navigated several complex questions, with simple, easy-to-understand explanations that will (hopefully) leave you feeling motivated and empowered to begin working on your own estate plan. Some of these questions include:

  • Who should have a will?
  • What is a power of attorney and an executor?
  • Are DIY wills worth the savings?
  • What taxes apply to your estate?
  • What is probate?
  • Is it worth it to try to minimize probate?
  • What mistakes are people making with their estate planning?
  • If you’re a 6-figure millennial or if you have a specific topic you would like to discuss on the podcast, we would love to talk to you! Reach out to us at [email protected] or find us on FB/Instagram.
