Planning for Peace: Estate Planning Essentials with Megan A. Moghtaderi
In this enlightening episode, Sara sits down with estate planning attorney Megan Moghtaderi for an empowering discussion about the critical importance of estate planning. Inspired by her own family’s experience of navigating loss without a plan, Megan shares both the emotional and practical reasons why creating an estate plan is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones. She walks us through the essential components of an estate plan in California—revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, powers of attorney, and advanced health care directives—while emphasizing that these tools aren’t just for the wealthy or elderly. Estate planning is crucial for anyone over the age of 18, offering peace of mind not only after death but also in the case of incapacity. From ensuring your wishes are respected during incapacity, to the proper transfer of assets, and securing your digital legacy, Megan’s insights will empower you to take control of your future, safeguard your desires, and spare your family from difficult decisions during times of grief. Tune in to discover why estate planning is much more than legal paperwork—it’s an enduring act of love and protection for those who matter most.
