In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money podcast, we're covering affordable estate planning for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples with Mitch Mitchell, Associate Counsel of Estate Planning at Trust and Will. Our money system in this country is outdated and antiquated and, by far, does not meet the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals and families. When it comes to estate planning and making sure that your assets get passed to who you want, things can get even more complicated if you’re in the LGBTQ+ community. Different states have different laws, and figuring it all out is hard.
