The Retirement Voyage with Dale McGregor

Living Trusts

Episode Notes

Bestselling Author and Retirement Expert, Dale McGregor, explains why understanding “the flow of money when you die” matters. He outlines how assets pass to a joint owner, to named beneficiaries, or through probate—and where living trusts fit in. Dale breaks down revocable versus irrevocable trusts, how trustees carry out your wishes, and why a will alone still forces your family through probate court. He uses the high-profile example of musician Prince to show how poor planning can cost heirs years of delay and tens of millions in legal fees and taxes.
