Ep. 64: Warren Buffett Says To Do ‘This’ With Your Will

“Legacy is not about leaving something for people, it’s about leaving something behind IN people.”

— Peter Strople

Many retirees create estate plans with their attorneys.  They get a big binder with their documents, hopefully they update their beneficiaries,
retitle their assets to their trust, and then they throw that big binder in a safe and “tell their kids where it is.”

But they ignore the fact that some day those documents will be read by their beneficiaries, or, perhaps an ‘ex-beneficiary.’  

Warren Buffet has a different take on estate planning that we will dive into today.  

So, we’re going to dive into Warren Buffett’s annual ‘Thanksgiving Letter.’

Then, I’ll also discuss 3 potential reasons this might be hard for you.

And as a result, I’ll give you 5 tips to make it easier to at least get the ball rolling.

I hope you all find this episode helpful.  Make sure to follow along and share this with a friend/family member who would also find it useful.
