Tru$t Issues

Legacy Law Partners is proud to sponsor Trust Issues on WTNH’s CT Buzz. Each week, managing attorney Amanda Gilbert-Largent breaks down one estate planning question Connecticut families are afraid to ask.

Estate planning, made plain.

In this WTNH mini-series, Amanda Gilbert-Largent sits down to answer the real questions Connecticut families ask, about wills, trusts, probate, and protecting what you’ve built. No jargon. Just straight answers you can actually use.
