jimmy13+FollowWhen family cuts ties, who gets the inheritance?Imagine having to decide who inherits your life savings when your own children have been out of touch for years. That’s the reality for one retired woman, who called into The Ramsey Show after her kids cut her off following tough love over addiction. She’s not looking for revenge—she just wants to do what’s right, especially since a large inheritance could do more harm than good for someone struggling. The hosts stressed: it’s okay to set conditions, protect your own future, and even prioritize grandkids’ education. Estate planning gets complicated when families are estranged. How would you handle a situation like this? #Entertainment #FamilyEstrangement #EstatePlanning00Share
Christine Baxter+FollowEstate Planning Mistakes You Can DodgeThinking about who will handle your money and stuff after you’re gone? Picking the wrong person (or not picking at all) can turn your legacy into a family feud or a government headache. Don’t just go with your favorite cousin—make sure your trustee is reliable, has backup, and knows what they’re doing. It’s not just about trust; it’s about keeping your family drama-free and your wishes intact. Review your choices every few years—life changes, and so should your plan! #Business #MakeMoney #EstatePlanning10Share
Darius Alvarez+FollowWould You Leave Your Estate to His Kid?Imagine getting engaged and then your fiancé asks if you’d leave your hard-earned estate to his son from a previous relationship. That’s exactly what happened to one woman, and now she’s questioning if she’s being unfair for wanting her siblings to inherit instead. The internet is divided—some say she’s right to set boundaries, others think she should reconsider. Would you do it? This is one pre-nup convo I’d love to eavesdrop on! #Relationships #relationships #estateplanning12Share
randerson+FollowThinking of downsizing? Trust rules matterOwning your home through an irrevocable trust can be a smart way to protect your assets and make inheritance easier, but it comes with some real-life trade-offs. If you ever want to sell and downsize, you can’t just make the call yourself—the trustees (often your kids or family) have to agree and handle the sale. The proceeds stay in the trust, and any new home is bought by the trust, not you. It’s a powerful tool, but it means giving up some control. Would you be comfortable letting someone else decide what happens to your home? #RealEstate #Homeownership #EstatePlanning00Share
Holly Gonzalez+FollowThe Gift My Dad Left BehindGetting an email titled 'Estate Info' from my dad felt super awkward, but when he passed away unexpectedly months later, that file became a lifesaver. He’d put together every detail we’d need—bank accounts, passwords, even obituary notes. It was tough to face, but honestly, it made those brutal first days so much easier. Now I see it for what it was: one last act of love. If you’re putting this off, trust me, it’s worth it. #Relationships #FamilyMatters #EstatePlanning20Share
Paige Douglas+FollowWaiting on Your Inheritance? Here’s What to DoEver feel like your inheritance is stuck in limbo? If it’s been a year since your dad’s house sold and you haven’t seen a dime, you’re not alone. Estate payouts can drag on thanks to paperwork, debts, and taxes. But you don’t have to just wait—ask for a breakdown of the estate’s finances and a timeline. If you’re still getting the runaround, teaming up with your sibling for answers or consulting a pro can help get things moving. #Business #MoneyLifehacks #EstatePlanning00Share
