It’s listener Q&A time! We’re tackling your biggest financial questions—from family feuds to smart giving strategies. What happens when your children don’t get along, but they all stand to inherit? Estate planning attorney Kyle Rinaudo of Reeves Law PC joins us to discuss one of the most emotionally charged financial topics: how to structure your estate plan when family relationships are strained. We’ll cover choosing a neutral executor, using a no-contest clause, and even when it may make sense to disinherit a child.

Next, we explore appreciating and depreciating assets—and how understanding the difference can strengthen your financial foundation. We’ll show you how to spot wealth-building opportunities, avoid value traps, and make smarter long-term choices.

We’ll also answer listener questions about proxy voting and donor-advised funds—a charitable giving tool that lets you give now, decide later, and save on taxes today.

Whether you’re planning your legacy, building wealth, or just looking to make your money work harder, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world insight.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
