Episode 1: Welcome to the debut of the Protect Your Nest Podcast, featuring Louisville attorney Brandon J. Lawrence! Brandon brings nearly 20 years of experience to his new platform. He'll tackle the crucial, though often put-off, topics of estate planning, Wills, trusts, and probate. Brandon understands how important these issues are to people. His goal is to educate and guide families, so their legacy lives on. With the right plan, they can be assured their families will be secure after they are gone.

Many people find planning complicated, but really, you just need a plan. The earlier you start, the better the outcome. Life constantly changes due to things like new children or divorce. The documents are fluid and the planning process is ongoing. Without proper documentation on paper, the court will step in and make important decisions for the family, which may not align with wishes you expressed verbally. Learning how to plan effectively is key to preserving property and wealth while minimizing taxes and keeping the courts out of your private affairs.
