Episode notes
Recovering Stolen Inheritance
- If an executor/trustee is suspected of stealing estate funds, hire an attorney and pursue forensic accounting rather than only confronting them.
- Tell the trustee you will involve law enforcement if they refuse to provide a full accounting and return assets.
When To Ask About Debt While Dating
- Discuss money values with dates as you get to know someone and save specific debt numbers for when the relationship becomes serious.
- Start values conversations early; get into nitty-gritty financials only when planning to merge households or marry.
Buy Time Before Tearing Down A Family Home
- Avoid an either/or rush; if renovations are costly, live in the inherited house temporarily and make small fixes to buy time.
- Use a 12–24 month living trial to clarify desires and family dynamics before a big tear-down or new build.
