💔 A Mother’s Heartbreak Turned Mission—Estate Planning Lessons You Need to Hear
Mary Ann Wehr never planned on becoming an estate planning attorney. But when her 33-year-old son, James, a firefighter and paramedic, died in the line of duty, she was thrust into a legal nightmare.
James had no estate plan. His family was left fighting through probate, dealing with financial burdens, and struggling to navigate the legal system—while grieving his loss.

Mary Ann saw firsthand how bad estate planning (or no planning at all) can devastate families.
That’s why she made it her mission to help families avoid this nightmare.
🎧 In my latest podcast episode, Mary Ann shares:
✔️ The painful reality of what happens when estate planning fails
✔️ The biggest mistakes families make—and how to avoid them
✔️ The one step you can take TODAY to protect your loved ones
💡 If you have a family, this is a must-listen. Don’t wait until it’s too late!

Don’t let this happen to your family. Learn how to avoid these nightmares by tuning in today!

💬 Talk Isn’t Cheap: The Importance of End-of-Life Conversations 💬

It’s not always easy to bring up end-of-life wishes, but having these conversations can be one of the greatest gifts we give to our loved ones. ❤️ In my latest blog, I explore why these talks are so valuable—not only for clarifying wishes around healthcare, finances, and important documents but also for strengthening family bonds and reducing stress down the line.
