Estate Planning Isn't for the Elderly

Only about a third of Americans have a will, and this episode explains why that's most dangerous for the people who assume they have time: young parents and high earners. We look at why your will doesn't actually control everything, since retirement accounts and life insurance follow whatever beneficiary form you filled out years ago, not your estate documents. A landmark Supreme Court case shows just how rigidly those forms get enforced, even when a divorce decree says otherwise. With trillions in wealth about to change hands and new rules compressing how fast heirs must draw down inherited accounts, this is the ten-minute check most high earners keep putting off.
