It is our latest guest-branded episode of Business LO, with host Michelle O'Dell, along with the esteemed Attorney Anastasia Yu Meisner, as she delves into the critical topic of estate planning, specifically focusing on debunking five prevalent myths that often lead to misunderstandings and overlooked preparations. These myths include: "If I pass without a will, the government gets everything," "A Will avoids probate," "I'm not rich, I don't need to think about estate tax," "Estate Planning is for the wealthy," and "I made my estate plan, I don't need to think about it again." This concise yet comprehensive discussion aims to provide clarity and empower listeners with accurate information.

In addition, this conversation showcases Anastasia's profound dedication to her clients and her unwavering commitment to guiding them through the complexities of securing their financial affairs. Her expertise shines through as she helps demystify a subject many find daunting.

Please note that this conversation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
