Estate Planning

Ryan sits down with his longtime friend, and estate planning attorney Gerry Griffin to share a story of how he was able to protect his grandparent’s home with some of Gerry’s estate planning techniques. Ryan’s grandfather was instrumental in Ryan’s upbringing, and was a huge part of Ryan’s life. On a number of occasions Ryan attempted to get his grandfather to put his home in a trust. However, Ryan’s grandfather resisted and felt like that was for aristocrats, not for every day working people like himself. Eventually Ryan got his grandmother to intervene and she made sure that Ryan’s grandfather, Stanley, put the home in a trust. Years later after both of Ryan‘s grandparents were in a nursing home for an extended period of time they were able to pass their home to Ryan’s father and uncle without having to pay the nursing home. That inheritance made all the difference for Ryan’s Dad and Uncle when it came time for them to retire. This is why Ryan is so passionate about using an the state plan to protect his client’s assets.
