Helping Families Through Dramatic Estate Plans
Brad Woodall:
“We could talk for hours about all the crazy family drama we see! I remember this one family, a brother and sister inherited property from their dad. The brother wanted to help his son out by selling him one of the properties at a good price. I helped the sister set up seller financing so she got her share upfront as a down payment, and the brother could still help his son. Everyone was happy! It’s amazing how often these situations are straight out of those talk shows!”
Yana Feldman:
“It’s true, these situations can get wild! I have a case now where a parent wants one child to have the opportunity to buy their house, but the numbers just don’t work. I had to tell them, ‘You need to play this out to the end and see how it actually works in reality.’ It’s often so emotional. People bring up things from the past, like childhood fights or even someone getting someone else’s girlfriend pregnant! It’s never boring, that’s for sure. We definitely have to put on our therapist hats sometimes!”
