Death, Dollars and Drama The Will Mistake That Tore This Family Apart⎟Ep. 2331
Your children will inherit properties — not problems. That's the plan, anyway. But what happens when blended families, second marriages, and complicated ownership structures collide with an outdated will?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack the messy reality of passing on wealth — including real NZ court cases where families were torn apart fighting over farms and estates. One case saw siblings battle for years over a $2.33 million farm. Another saw a daughter's challenge thrown out after her brother had worked the land for decades.
You'll learn:
-How to split assets fairly when you have children from different relationships
-Why courts can (and do) rewrite wills — and how to stop it happening to yours
-The simple document that could save your family $10,000+ in legal fees
-What happens if you lose mental capacity without an Enduring Power of Attorney
If you're a property investor with a blended family — or just someone who's been putting off sorting their will — this episode is your wake-up call.
