On this episode of Estate Planning Nightmares…..and how to avoid them! I am joined by attorney Michael Porter. Mike shares the story of a prepared man who has a premonition which becomes reality. And the story of an individual with over 550 individual investments, who was not prepared! You’ve got to hear these stories!
Mike is the Founder and CEO of Faith Mountain Legacy Services in Spearfish, South Dakota.
He is a distinguished legal mind with a rich tapestry of experience spanning over three decades. Admitted to practice in the courts of the State of South Dakota and its Supreme Court in 1989, Mike’s expertise extends across various domains, including real estate, estate planning, and probate law.
His commitment to legal excellence is evidenced by his memberships in esteemed organizations such as the American Bar Association's Real Estate, Estate Planning and Probate Section, and the American Trial Lawyers Association, among others.
As a past President of the West River Estate & Financial Planning Council and an executive council member of the South Dakota State Bar Association’s Real Property, Probate, and Trust Section, he has continually demonstrated leadership and dedication to his profession.
Beyond the courtroom, Mike’s altruistic spirit shines through his extensive involvement in civic, service, and charitable organizations. From serving as Board Chairman for Bella – A CareNet Pregnancy Resource Center to volunteering for causes like South Dakota TeenPact, his commitment to community welfare is unwavering.
A passionate advocate for education and knowledge-sharing, Mike is a frequent lecturer and presenter at seminars and forums on estate planning, financial planning, and long-term care issues. His dedication to staying abreast of legal developments and sharing his insights underscores his commitment to empowering others with valuable information.
Despite his professional achievements, Mike remains grounded in family and nature, residing in the picturesque Black Hills of South Dakota with his beloved wife of 34 years. Together, they cherish moments with their four children, daughter-in-law, and new grandson, embracing the beauty of outdoor adventures like gardening, camping, and skiing.
It is an honor to have Mike join us today, where his wealth of experience and compassionate perspective promise to enlighten and inspire us all.
