Listen to season 2, episode 17 of the MomTalk Maryland podcast, “Protecting Your Family’s Future: What Every Parent Should Know About Estate Planning”
MOMTALK MARYLAND | SEASON 2, EPISODE 17
What happens when planning for your family's future becomes an act of love? In this episode of Mom Talk Maryland, host Claire Duarte sits down with Laura Curry, founder of Curry Legacy Law, to talk about estate planning, protecting your loved ones, and why having a plan in place matters for every family.
With nearly 20 years of legal experience, Laura shares her journey to opening her own law firm and explains how she helps individuals and families navigate estate planning with greater clarity and confidence. She breaks down the differences between wills and trusts, the importance of power of attorney documents, and why planning ahead can help families prepare for life's unexpected moments.
Together, Claire and Laura explore common misconceptions about estate planning, the role of probate, and how the right legal documents can help reduce stress, delays, and complications for loved ones. Laura also discusses choosing guardians for minor children, understanding how assets are passed on, and why adding adult children to property or financial accounts may not always be the best solution. She offers insight into what families can expect from the estate planning process and how to take that first step without feeling overwhelmed.
Whether you're a new parent thinking about who would care for your children, a mom who's been putting off important paperwork, or someone who wants to make future decisions easier for your loved ones, this conversation is a reminder that estate planning isn't just about money or legal documents—it's about providing clarity, protecting your family, and creating peace of mind.
