You Spent Your Entire Life
Building It.

The Queen of Soul left behind an estate worth nearly $80 million.

After she passed away, her family discovered multiple handwritten wills. One was reportedly found in a locked cabinet. Another under couch cushions.

For years, her loved ones weren't simply grieving. They were asking judges to determine which document represented her true wishes.

Imagine your children having to ask a courtroom… “What did Mom really want?”

James Brown actually had estate planning documents.

The problem? Life changed. His documents didn't.

One outdated plan — years of lawsuits, years of conflict, years of unnecessary expense.

Kobe did not die without a plan. Before his death in 2020, he had created the Kobe Bryant Family Trust — a revocable living trust.

But the trust had never been updated.

After his passing, it became public that the trust did not yet include his youngest daughter, Capri, who was born in 2019. Vanessa Bryant had to petition the court to modify the trust so Capri would receive the same benefits as her sisters.

Kobe had done the work. Life just moved faster than the paperwork.

The Black Panther star left behind an estate of nearly $3.8 million — and no will. He had been quietly battling cancer for four years, yet never formalized his wishes.

His wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, had to petition the California courts to be appointed administrator of his estate. Everything passed through probate publicly.

Illness doesn't always leave time to plan. The right time is now — while you're clear-headed, healthy, and in control.
