(Conservator is really just another name for guardian.) This article has a bit more information about the scope of the conservatorship.

» Podcast #1 Notes

Podcast #1 is up and running -- see below.

Here's the plan with respect to future podcasts:

#2: Wills
#3: Living Trusts
#4: Health Directives
#5: The Estate Tax
#6: Simple Gifting
#7: Not-so-simple Gifting
#8: Probate Basics
#9: Trust Administration
#10: Probate and Trust Litigation

I'm new to this, so comments are much appreciated. Am I talking too loudly? Too softly? Too quickly? Just let me know, and I'll try to correct it on future podcasts.

The opening and closing music is "Musette," by the French composer Felix Le Couppey (1811-1887).
