A will alone may not protect the people you care about most. In this episode, Charleston’s Retirement Coach Brandon Bowen is joined by estate planning attorney Tripp Wiles to unpack how legacy planning really works—and where families often get tripped up. The conversation explores trusts, funding mistakes, blended‑family complications, and why estate planning is more than paperwork. Using real‑world examples, they explain how coordinating financial planning and legal strategy can help reduce conflict, confusion, and unintended outcomes for spouses, children, and grandchildren.
