Hi, 1st year law student here! Thank so much for such an informative, helpful video. I am planning to do an estate planning internship this summer and I am so excited! Seems like a great field :)
Hello! First time viewer. I will be submitting my applications to law school this later this semester, and many people have asked me what kind of law I would be interested in practicing. My answer always is "I'm not sure, but whatever I do, I want to help people". And from the looks of it, you are helping people with tremendously important and potentially complex matters. This "day in the life" gave me some perspective on a field of practice to which I previously had very limited exposure, and in which I am now very interested. Assuming all goes well and I get admitted, I will keep it in mind as I start my studies next year, and I will continue to learn more about it. I sincerely thank you for the knowledge and inspiration. Take care
Thank you for this informative video--it will help me assist any Estate Planning Attorneys in my area(Florida) as I am a Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent!
Thank you... I deal with a lot of social anxiety, and have been avoiding closing out my father's affairs because all of this "adulting" is foreign territory to me... Though I suppose that doesn't mean it's all just gonna go away on its own.
Thank you for the video, good Sir. Looking into different fields of the legal industry at the moment, and videos like this help to navigate the obscure and expansive world of law. Videos like this mean the world.
Hi there! First time seeing a law specific field video and I really enjoyed your openness and authenticity to share your day and job. I graduated from University (law school plans are next). I keep being asked by family and friends “What law do you want to do?” and honestly there’s so much out there. But all I knew was that I wanted to help people and see a real change happen (for the good lol). Thank you from the bottom of my heart, wonderful video. Im definitely subscribing and interested in seeing more of your videos. Thank you again!
Gathering background information as per the family dynamics seems to be a major consideration in preparing or suggesting the final documents. A day in the life--1) meet with people (one on one, jointly, group presentations) 2) analyze the desires matching with law/expertise 3) Prepare documents.
Great video on Estate Law! I e had to work with different estate attorneys over the years to litigate both my grandparents and fathers estate ( which ended up settling successfully in mediation) and to learn about estate planning, etc.
Considering you were in meetings all day but were still able to get things done, did you have other attorneys or paralegals helping you draft the documents up?
Do you happen to have a video on schooling to become an estate law planning lawyer? I am very interested and I am barely starting my college degree. I was thinking of doing my undergraduate in finance then study law for estate planning. Any advice helps 🙏🏼
Sorry... cant find a way on RUclips to ask a question other than by coments. I have checking account and some small savings and our IRAs outside of revokable Trust...In the Trust is our homes, major investment/savings accounts. We have 3 sub trust accounts that will be created when we pass... nothing created or in them now. 1) Should we create the sub trusts now with zero in them? 2) Can we put some of our major assets, like the house and some but not all investment accounts into Irrevocable trust (protectioni from Medicaid) 3) can we have both revokable and irrevocable trusts at the same time as well as a Will for our probate assets? Roger from NJ
Question. My mom is the executor of my grandmother's estate which includes a house that is dilapidated and unlivable. I want to get alone to rehabilitate the house. So that I could have somewhere to live is that doable in this situation
Would you be kind enough to answer a question...can a temporary administrator sell community property before seperate property to pay off debts. I'm dealimg with this currently and really dont understand how that can be.
Mental exhaustion...boy, can we relate! Just visiting with our attorney last year and discussing the pros and cons of certain ideas was exhausting even for us, not to mention our poor attorney!! Anyway, early in the video (around 6:00), you mentioned putting assets in the name of the children once the second spouse dies. I think I am confused or at least not up to date on that. I had read (in an older book by E. Slott) that the funds should still remain in the parents name even after death but the child's name should be *added onto the end* after the parents name. For example ' John Smith trust' becomes 'John Smith trust for the benefit of Jimmy Smith'. The reasoning would be to avoid certain taxes because of the change of ownership. I apologize if this is not relayed in the correct 'language'. Could you please clarify this issue for us? Thank you very much.
I live in Sunnyvale of California.I have a rental and want to make a living trust to my son and daughter. Can you do it for me? I have a son and a daughter. Pls help me.
It makes it impossible to get things done without a lawyer. It looks like the lawyers created it just to make money. Going through it now, what a nightmare.......
This guy’s office and him are horrible!!!! He won’t talk to you if you are not in his state, when he makes it sound like he will talk to anyone!!!!!! Not honest or professional!!!
How does a law firm stating they can’t handle a case from another state be a representative overview of their capabilities and competence? Just find an attorney in your state rather than dragging this firm im through the mud due to your dissatisfaction.

Hi there. Just for clarification, do you work for yourself or are you part of a law firm where you have billable hours?
What class do you need for college to do this??
Do you know any estate attorneys in Mexico
I live in Sunnyvale of California.I have a rental and want to make a living trust to my son and daughter. Can you do it for me? I have a son and a daughter. Pls help me.
It makes it impossible to get things done without a lawyer. It looks like the lawyers created it just to make money. Going through it now, what a nightmare.......
Please do more of these! Very fascinating.
By the way, I am divorced
