Estate Planning Weekly
The documents and decisions that sit upstream of every probate sale — trusts, pour-over wills, incapacity, and the attorneys who draft them.

- Estate planning counsel, families still in time to plan, and agents who sit with those clients
Estate Planning Weekly is the show for the work that happens before anyone dies. Bill’s guests are the estate planning and elder-law lawyers who draft the trusts, the pour-over wills, the health-care directives — and who later watch those instruments succeed or fail at title.
A funded trust is not probate. An unfunded trust is. This show is where that distinction is made in public, every week, with counsel who actually sign the documents.
If you counsel families on planning — not just litigation after the fact — this is the microphone.
