About your guest host, Rod Hatley:

The founder of Hatley Law Group APC, Rod Hatley, began his journey to becoming an estate planning attorney with a devastating, drawn-out, seven-year probate. Rod’s father had been ill for a while before he died. Though Rod knew that his father needed to set up a trust and undertake additional advanced planning to prepare for his eventual passing, his father could not bear the thought of parting with legal title to the assets he had spent his life accumulating. As a result of this lack of preparation, it took Rod and his sister seven years to get through probate in their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

Beth Handwerker is a financial planner who also specializes in estate planning. She helps clients walk through creating estate planning documents that help make things as easy as possible for those left behind. Beth believes that the documents are only part of the estate planning process. She also explores preparing your heirs for wealth. A fun part of the process for Beth is documenting family stories, recipes, or history that you want to ensure aren't forgotten. Estate planning is more than just the transfer of wealth. Beth also wants to transfer wisdom, a legacy.

Beth is passionate about estate planning because she's seen the effects of bad planning with her own family. Her mother passed away and their family ran into some issues with property titling. One issue caused her father to open probate in a separate state because a timeshare did not have the correct ownership. The other situation involved a property that was never moved from her mother's ownership to her family's partnership ownership. The mistake was discovered 5 years after her mother's passing, while in the process of selling the property. This caused delays in selling the property and raised several tax questions. It's very important to Beth that no one has to go through something like that. Part of the process at James is helping our clients transfer properties to the correct ownership to minimize any delays and headaches!

Listen to this informative Your Life. Your Legacy. episode with Beth Handwerker where she shares how to:

● Explore the importance of estate planning in preserving your legacy.

● Discern common pitfalls in estate planning and ways to avert them.

● Master the art of planning for special needs children and setting up special needs trusts.

● Become aware of integrating charitable donations into your estate plans for communal benefit.

● Familiarize yourself with vital incapacity planning documents including powers of attorney and living wills.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

● Significance of Estate Planning

This ensures that if individuals become unable to voice their medical or financial preferences, those decisions can be responsibly managed according to their wishes.

● Common Missteps in Estate Planning

Understanding these avoidable missteps can help individuals create a more effective and robust estate plan, safeguarding their interests and those of their loved ones from potential legal issues.

● Planning for Special Needs Children

Planning for special needs children presents unique challenges, requiring parents to think about their child's care long after they're gone.

“Your legacy is about teaching and making sure that the next generation can handle and can do even more than what you did.”

About George Steiner:

George Steiner has worked in Russia since 1991, with the International Bible Society, Children’s HopeChest, and now Orphan’s Tree. In his role, he provides vision and leadership for the ministry. Group homes, ministry centers, peer-to-peer mentorship, and foster care initiatives, among other programs, have been birthed through his vision and under his leadership. In addition to managing staff, every year George participates in a trip with U.S. church volunteers, working directly with orphans to retain close contact with the ministry audience. He also is the lead staff member for major donor relations.

Born into a missionary family, George has always been interested in people of different cultures. He graduated from Oral Roberts University with a degree in sociology and business administration and began working in fund development. He continued this until his work took him to the USSR. On numerous visits, he witnessed the hundreds of thousands of children lost in the orphanage system during the transition from the USSR to the Russian Federation. Burdened by the overall needs of orphans, he founded Children’s HopeChest in 1994 to serve the needs of institutionalized orphans. Seeing changing orphan care needs, George established Orphan’s Tree in 2008 to assist in creating healthy families for older orphans and to help break their orphan cycle. Orphan’s Tree is a shared passion with his family, which includes Kathy, his wife of 52 years, and their two daughters, Rebecca, who is on staff, and Meredith, who serves on the board.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

● Addressing the varied yet often overlooked needs of post-orphanage care is crucial in providing comprehensive support to young adults transitioning out of orphanages.

● Discovering one's role in life is about recognizing personal passions, talents, and opportunities that align with them. Whether it's pursuing a career or volunteering, finding a fulfilling role allows individuals to utilize their unique qualities for the greater good.

“One of the things that I think is true about anything in life is change is inevitable. And we have to be able to stay on top of that change and say, okay, how do we do things differently now? ”
