What Your Trust Agreements Actually Mean w/Shawn Rice

Who are you in an agreement, what are its terms, and where do you fit within it?

Oto Gomes sits down with Shawn Rice of Shawn Rice and Associates to discuss trusts, contracts, property, legal authority, and freedom. In a FIRST EVER PUBLIC INTERVIEW, Shawn shares how his Marine Corps experience and a 1992 visit to Cambodia shaped his path, then explains the three questions he asks when examining an agreement.

In this episode, Shawn discusses why he returns to legal texts, how he approaches documentation, and what happens during his firm’s client intake process. Oto also asks him to make these complex ideas easier to understand.
