In this episode of The Klickline, host Mina Kim sits down with Sean Weissbart, Partner at Blank Rome and Co-Chair of the Tax, Benefits, and Private Client Practice Group. Sean is a nationally recognized trusts and estates attorney, adjunct professor at NYU School of Law, and one of the most highly regarded millennial estate planners in the country. His work spans trusts, estate planning, matrimonial matters, and complex tax strategy for high-net-worth families.

Sean breaks down how estate planning actually works across different states, why trusts are not one-size-fits-all, and how decisions around guardianship, trustees, digital assets, and probate can dramatically shape outcomes for families. They also explore real-world scenarios that bring estate law into the spotlight, including the legal principles behind the Slayer Statute and high-profile inheritance cases.

They also dive into:

1. Key differences between wills, revocable trusts, and irrevocable trusts
2. How state laws affect property ownership, probate, and trust strategy
3. What to consider when choosing trustees and guardians for children
4. How digital assets like email, social media, and crypto are handled in estate plans
5. When inheritance rights can be limited under the Slayer Statute

A must-listen for anyone thinking about legacy, family protection, and making informed decisions around trusts and estate planning. Tune in to this episode of The Klickline to hear the full conversation!
