The Estate Planners Podcast

Whether you have been an estate planner for two weeks or two decades, if you are interested in learning and improving your knowledge and skills, then I invite you to listen.

The majority of estate planners believe in what they do - that the services we bring to market have genuine value, often life-changing value, and that this is therefore far more than 'just a job'.

When a dear friend of mine passed away in 2009 at the age of 42, his several businesses, his family and the charities that he was actively involved in all suffered heavily. Whilst everyone that knew him felt the loss, so much of the suffering could have been avoided if he had made a Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney. Since that time, I have dedicated myself to doing all I can to help estate planners achieve great results for their clients so that the same unnecessary upset is avoided for others.

I happily share my observations, research and developments with you in this podcast, and I welcome your kind attention.

- Antony Brinkman

Shotguns and Firearms. Can a firearm be left as a gift in a will? If so, what considerations should be given to the gift and can we help our clients to avoid creating any unnecessary problems with this potentially serious gift?
