## Resource

If your children inherited a million dollars tomorrow, would you want them to receive a check—or a trusted guide? In this episode, Jill pulls back the curtain on her own family's estate plan and walks you through exactly what would happen if she and Jeremy died while their children were still young. Using their own Wills, life insurance beneficiary designations, and testamentary trusts as real-life examples, she translates complicated legal language into plain English so you can understand how trusts actually work—and why they aren't just for wealthy families. Along the way, Jill explains why she intentionally chose to leave her children's inheritance in trust, how trustees make financial decisions, and why thoughtful estate planning is really about giving your family guidance when you can no longer be there yourself.
