    Representation Matters: Lessons from Bob Marley's Estate

    A nod to Shakisha's homeland, on this episode we venture over to the powerful island of Jamaica where Robert Nesta Marley made his mark on the world through his music. No stranger to controversy during his life, Bob Marley's estate has been embroiled in litigation around fraudulent documents and money transactions, and all of the complications in managing his vast estate which continues to bring in millions of dollars a year. While we may not all be managing a financial estate as vast as his, the family and estate issues are reflective of a number of families Shakisha has come across in probate court. Join to discuss the impact of this country's history on Black wealth and estate planning, and take away some valuable lessons, especially for business owners! Let's get #estateready and show our community what's possible through proper planning!

    Million Dollar Babies: Lessons from Nipsey Hussle's Estate

    Nipsey Hussle was a rapper, community activist, and entrepreneur. He grew from selling mixtapes to releasing a highly acclaimed album as well as working to improve Crenshaw through his businesses and community ventures. As we see The Movement Continue, we also see complications that arose from his untimely murder at the age of 33. His immediate family banded together to support each other and yet, not everyone he considered family got the benefit of his estate. We honor Nipsey's entrepreneurial spirit and community mindset while discussing the important ways we can have our own million dollar babies without the burden of the court's involvement. Everyone should listen to this episode -- especially those who are parents, those who want to be parents, and those who are leaving money to their nieces, nephews, and godbabies. Let's get #estateready and protect the next generation! Email us at estatereadypodcast@gmail.com if you want to hear us talk about a specific celebrity or discuss particular estate issues.

    Outdated and Out of Time: Lessons from John Singleton's Estate

    John Singleton was a prolific storyteller -- we loved his work in Baby Boy, Remember the Time, and Snowfall. We unfortunately missed out on what could have been an inspiring story through his estate because old paperwork doesn't always account for new blessings. Perhaps you have some outdated things in your possession: an outfit, pair of shoes, or car. Don't let your estate paperwork be a part of your forgotten treasures. Also, a Will is not the only thing you should be focused on!
