Description
🎧 Episode 312: Buried with His Bills – How Burt Reynolds Faked a Will (Sort Of)
Streaming now, with laughs, lessons, and a legendary mustache.
What happens when a Hollywood icon dies broke, drops a mysterious will, leaves his son out of it—and still manages to outsmart probate court?
Welcome to the rollercoaster that is Burt Reynolds’ estate story.
In this hilarious-yet-helpful episode, we dive into Burt’s legendary career, his dramatic love life, and yes, his $10 million debt—then unpack how he quietly avoided estate chaos by using a trust instead of a will. The tabloids screamed “abandonment,” but the truth? Burt planned smarter than most of us ever will.
💼 Learn how YOU can:
Avoid family feuds after you're gone
Use a trust like a pro (without needing a Hollywood salary)
Build your own legacy without a courtroom circus
And prevent your exes and kids from needing a whiteboard to decode your wishes
Perfect for caregivers, solo planners, families, and anyone who thinks estate planning is only for the rich and famous. (Spoiler: it’s not.)
