Estate Planning Made Simple: How to Protect Your Family’s Future | Jake & Gino Podcast

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to protect their family, avoid costly legal battles, and pass on assets with peace of mind. In this Jake & Gino episode, we sit down with Zach Tsakiris, founder of FastWill, a revolutionary platform making estate planning fast, affordable, and accessible from home.

We cover why 70% of Americans don’t have an estate plan, the hidden risks of letting the state decide for you, and how technology is disrupting the traditional (and expensive) attorney model. Zach breaks down the difference between a will and a trust, why a revocable living trust can save your loved ones from probate headaches, and how life events like marriage, having kids, or buying a home should trigger an update to your plan.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating outdated documents, this conversation gives you the tools to take control of your legacy—without the intimidation or high costs of the old way.

Protect your assets. Protect your family. Start your estate plan today.
