Taxation & Estate Planning

The Return of the Death and Taxes Podcast

By Joel A. Schoenmeyer

My friend Ellen and I did a podcast a few years ago on the Terri Schiavo case. I don't think anyone ever listened to it, and I eventually took it down. That being said, I've always wanted to revisit the world of podcasting. Probably because, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a disc jockey (or a fire truck, or a left-handed third baseman for the Cubs).

Anyway, I'm going to try to do a 10-part series called "Estate Planning 101." I hope to post a 5-10 minute podcast every week, and here's the tentative schedule:

Week 1: What is estate planning?
Week 2: Wills
Week 3: Living Trusts
Week 4: Health Directives
Week 5: The Estate Tax
Week 6: Simple Gifting
Week 7: Not-so-simple Gifting
Week 8: Probate Basics
Week 9: Trust Administration
Week 10: Probate and Trust Litigation

Now I just have to test whether I can upload an audio file to this page. If all goes well, Week 1's podcast will be up this week.
