In this episode, estate planning attorney Jill Mastroianni explains why making handwritten changes to your estate planning documents can create confusion, trigger litigation, and ultimately change how your assets are distributed. Through two real Tennessee court cases, you'll learn why “just one little edit” can have consequences that last for years and why creating a fresh document is always the better solution.
