Consider a Trust as an important tool in estate planning
A living trust, also known as a revocable living trust or a revocable trust, is a legal document that establishes a trust for any assets you wish to transfer into it. The main purpose of a living trust is to oversee the transfer of your assets after your death.
Under the terms of the living trust, you are the grantor of the trust, and the person you designate to distribute the trust's assets after your death is known as the successor trustee.
It is important that you consult with a trust attorney and your CPA

Which entailed knowing how to chain titles for surrounding properties and a number of other aspects
Due to a number of long term relationships and representations of several attorneys in the property sales and acquisitions I have added another talent. Testifying as an expert witness in Court Cases. Unless you are an active broker with full knowledge of how the industry has evolved and what is currently required (which changes twice yearly) with the infinite form updates and law changes this is an impossibility. Offices have gone from well managed community based businesses to the Mega Offices of thousands of agents with one or two hired managers who do not look at anything until a deal is closed. They have no idea what these mostly untrained agents are doing.
