  1. Your Will Shouldn’t Be a Surprise—How Inheritance Can Tear Families Apart Greg Aler 12:44

If your kids are shocked by what’s in your will, the damage may already be done.

On this episode of Fire Your Financial Advisor, Greg Aler digs into why inheritances so often spark Family conflict and how unclear Estate planning can turn Grief into litigation. Greg draws from years as an estate attorney to explain common flashpoints—unequal distributions, family businesses, estranged children, and last‑minute changes—and why will contests almost never end well. The conversation focuses on intent, communication, and documentation, highlighting why tough conversations held early can shape very different outcomes later.

Greg Aler Founder of Golden Reserve and Author of Fire Your Financial Advisor

Greg Aler was born and raised in small town Ohio. College. Law School. Then off to one of the largest law firms in the world. Later, he went on to build three multi-million-dollar companies before the age of 40 – an elder care law firm, a financial services firm, and a real estate company. He is a perpetual disruptor; re-thinking and re-building industries that are too rich or too stubborn to change. Yet always, coming back to his roots and directing his companies (and his book) to fight for the people that get overlooked – hard-working everyday folks, like his parents. The other 95%-ers.

Greg has his own TV, Radio & Podcast Show—Expedition Retirement.

The only thing Greg loves more than cooking, scuba diving, boating and laughing with friends on his back porch, is being with his wife Fernanda, and three kiddos (Lilly, Lola & Louie).
