Here are comments from listeners.
• Ask clients about more than just do you have a will, ask about the ancillary documents
• "Dower rights - never heard of that. Only Ohio, Arkansas & Kentucky have them.
• Cautions regarding adding your kid to J&S affidavit."
• Examples to use with clients to explain the documents and what they protect/avoid. Dower rights was new--four states still have it (thanks Google). Distinction between TOD/POD.
• For me, this was mostly a review of material I learned in my estate planning class in my CFP(R) program. However, I was once again reminded of how desperately my husband and I need to execute a will! (I know, shame on us!)

• one or more webinars on administering an estate after death occurs - under a will or under one or more trusts Death has occurred - Now what?
• Problems of using POD, TOD and Joint survivorship

• Trying to avoid trouble without these legal documents, including a trust, is ineffective. Transfers/management goes much smoother when death or disability happens if we pay attention to having excellent Estate Planning for our clients.
