| 6/18/26 | The Trust Decisions That Can Make or Break an Estate Plan | Choosing the right trust is one of the most important parts of estate planning, especially when families are trying to avoid probate, reduce estate taxes, protect assets from long-term care costs, and make sure money passes the way they intend.In this episode of The Legal Exchange, Todd Lutsky and Susan Powers discuss how powers of attorney can create problems when self-dealing is allowed, why trusts may offer stronger protection and control, and how married couples with larger estates may need to coordinate estate tax planning with nursing home planning. Todd also explains how life insurance and retirement accounts can be handled through different trust strategies, what happens when beneficiaries need to be changed in an irrevocable trust, and why nominee realty trusts often create confusion for families who think they have more protection than they actually do. | 54m 01s | ||||||

| 2/27/26 | Promises Don’t Protect Estates — Why Second Marriages Require Real Planning | Todd Lutsky and Susan Powers break down two cautionary court cases that highlight what can go wrong when estate plans rely on verbal promises instead of written documents. From a Mississippi dispute over a law practice settlement to a second-marriage IRA fight involving powers of attorney and beneficiary changes, the cases illustrate how easily family relationships can unravel without proper structure in place.The conversation explores why trusts create obligations where “good intentions” do not, how to protect children in blended families, and why powers of attorney must be drafted carefully — especially when retirement accounts are involved. Todd also answers listener questions on leaving assets to charity, updating irrevocable trusts after the loss of a child, and how estate planning needs change across different stages of life. | 54m 01s | ||||||
