In this episode of “Trust Us: Estate Planning Wisdom,” Danielle Friedman, Herb Fineburg, and Max McCauley explore one of the most common client questions: How much should parents tell their children about their estate plan? They break the issue into three levels—essentials, structure, and numbers—and discuss what to share, when to share it, and why timing and maturity matter.
