Welcome and Thank You for Subscribing!

Happy Holidays, welcome to my new Substack. My goal is simple: to make estate planning topics more transparent, more approachable, and actionable so tha

t you can make informed decisions with confidence.

To that end, I invite you to explore a few recent resources you may find helpful:

• 🎙 The Plan on It Podcast – Episode #2
  In this episode, I focus on long-term care estate planning and explain why planning for incapacity is just as critical as planning for end-of-life arrangements. Long-term care considerations should be a core part of every California estate plan, not an afterthought.
  

• 📝 New Blog Post: Understanding Medi-Cal Asset Protection Trusts (MAPTs): A Simple Guide for California Families
  This article provides a clear overview of how MAPTs work, when they may be appropriate, and how they fit into a broader long-term care planning strategy.

This Substack will be a place to share updates, practical guidance, and important planning considerations as laws and strategies evolve. I look forward to continuing the conversation with you here.

Wishing you and your family a safe, joyful, and peaceful holiday season. May the new year bring good health, clarity, and confidence in your plans for the future.

Warm regards,
Christopher E. Botti, Esq.
