## Resource

What happens when you give one child a house during your lifetime but want to keep your estate plan “equal” later? In this Tuesday Triage episode, Jill answers a listener question about lifetime gifts, equalizing inheritances, and how beneficiary designations can complicate even the best intentions. Through practical examples, Michigan law, and a real court case, this episode explains why documentation matters when fairness between children is at stake.
