Think your estate plan is done just because you signed your trust? Think again.

In this episode of The Probate Pod, Jason Siegel, Esq. explains one of the most overlooked steps in estate planning—funding your trust. Learn how to properly title your assets, what happens if you skip this step, and why even the best-drafted trust won't help your family if it's left empty.

📚 Based on the insights from Jason's new book The Gift of a Good Plan.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE:
This video provides general information on how to fund a trust, but it is not a substitute for legal advice. You should always consult your estate planning attorney to determine:

• Which assets should be placed in your trust
• When to name your trust as a beneficiary
• Whether certain items should not be transferred into the trust at all

Your estate plan is personal—and the details matter.

In this episode of The Probate Pod with Jason Siegel, we’re joined by Michelle Franklin, the Property Appraiser for St. Lucie County, Florida, to discuss an issue that affects countless homeowners: what to do after transferring your home into a revocable trust—and how it can impact your homestead exemption.

We cover:
 ✅ Why a trust can help your family avoid probate
 ✅ How to preserve your homestead exemption after transferring your home
 ✅ What documents the Property Appraiser’s Office needs to see
 ✅ What happens if you forget to notify the office

This is essential listening for Florida homeowners and anyone working on their estate plan.
