As an estate planning attorney with extensive experience in litigating probate and related civil matters, Chiara understands what can happen when estate planning goes wrong.

· Why you must title assets and designate beneficiaries in accordance with your plan.
· Why just using “joint titling" instead of an estate plan is risky.
· How to tackle estate planning for blended families.
