Estate planning might not be the start of a fun conversation, but it’s an important one for parents. Our interview with Alyssa Hodges, who you may remember from our episode on divorce, talks about everything moms need to know, including why Taylor Swift needs a trust not a will!
Alyssa wrote an article for us on estate planning. She writes, “We teach our kids to look both ways when crossing the street and to wash their hands (stomach flu fear lives #RentFree in my head). We teach them not to talk to strangers and to be aware of their surroundings. We worry about the immediate dangers. But we have to cover the long-term dangers, too.”
Meet Alyssa Hodges
Alyssa Hodges is a KC-based family law and divorce attorney. She earned her law degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and is pursuing a master’s in tax law at Washington University St. Louis School of Law. She has two young children and is a published author.
Ms. Hodges has been on Law Review, the Dean’s List, and a competitive negotiations team. She’s been an active member of MothersEsquire since 2018 and WealthCounsel since 2020. In 2021, she became a columnist for Above the Law.
Ms. Hodges enjoys preparing for trial and being in the courtroom. However, she believes collaboration is almost always better than leaving a decision up to a judge who doesn’t know her client or her client’s family dynamics.
