You can build wealth for decades and still lose it if the roof is leaking. In the final episode of the Building Your Financial House series, Raphael Vallier explains why tax and estate planning are the protective layer that often gets overlooked. Using the house analogy, the conversation explores common “leaks” like inefficient savings, misunderstood tax rules, and outdated estate documents. Raphael discusses when tax planning should enter the conversation, how estate strategies fit into a holistic plan, and why ongoing reviews matter as life and finances evolve. This episode focuses on protecting what you’ve built — so the structure supporting your future stays intact.
