In this episode of The About Podcast, Roy and Jeremy are joined by estate planning attorney Skyler Budman for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation on celebrity estate planning mistakes, and what everyday families can learn from them.

Using real-world examples from pop culture, we break down how even massive wealth, elite advisors, and good intentions can still lead to costly oversights, public court battles, and unnecessary taxes. From outdated documents to no planning at all, these stories show why estate planning isn’t just about money—it’s about clarity, protection, and peace of mind.

We discuss lessons from the estates of Kobe Bryant, Prince, and Aretha Franklin, highlighting how missed updates, handwritten wills, and dying without a plan can create chaos for loved ones left behind.

Whether you already have an estate plan or have been putting it off, this episode offers practical insights on:

• Why estate plans must be reviewed after major life events
• What happens when someone dies without a will
• How probate becomes public—and expensive
• Why “good enough” planning often isn’t enough

This is an educational conversation with real-life consequences, and a reminder that proactive planning today can spare your family difficult decisions tomorrow.

🎧 Listen now and learn why estate planning is about more than assets—it’s about intention.
