ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Celebrity Wills

People make estate planning errors every day.  Celebrities are no exception to that rule, except that their mistakes are amplified by their fame, wealth, and public curiosity.  In this talk, we will examine the common mistakes made by recently deceased celebrities and illustrate how these mistakes could have been avoided.  Without a doubt, you will see these errors reflected in the planning done by your every-day clients, as well.
