One of the biggest lessons from Marilyn Monroe’s estate? 🚩 Cheap and vague planning comes at a very high cost.

Even if you don’t work with us, the advice is simple: choose an estate planning attorney who truly specializes in this. A $600 “simple will” should raise red flags, not provide peace of mind. In Episode 6 of Having Fun with Death & Taxes ➡️ Marilyn Monroe’s 3-Page Will: The High Cost of a “Simple” Estate Plan, we explore how vague language and minimal planning governed Marilyn’s legacy, leading to decades of legal fallout, public probate, and outcomes she likely never intended.

Is there really a difference between a will and a trust? ABSOLUTELY.

✅ A will is simple. It says who gets what and that’s it. It does not avoid probate.
✅A trust lets you plan for the “what ifs,” set conditions, and protect beneficiaries long after you’re gone.

Estate Planning Attorney Alina Nuñez explains why executor selection matters and how the wrong choice can lead to conflict and costly mistakes in our latest episode, Marilyn Monroe’s 3-Page Will: The High Cost of a “Simple” Estate Plan.
