Small mistakes can cost big when it comes to your legacy.
In this episode of Trust This, Florida Estate Planning & Asset Protection Attorney Joe Seagle unpacks McGee v. McGee (August 2025), a real-life Florida case that exposes how one simple oversight in a revocable living trust can unravel an entire estate plan, sparking confusion, family conflict, and lost inheritances.
Joe shares the three critical lessons every attorney and client must know before creating or amending a trust:
-Always disclose and review all prior estate plans.
-Clearly define your intent when updating or replacing a trust.
-Confirm who’s responsible for retitling and funding the trust.
Whether you’re a lawyer refining your process or a client preparing to update your estate plan, this episode shows you exactly how to protect your assets, your wishes, and your family’s peace of mind.
Watch the full episode now for practical steps that can save you from years of legal trouble.
