About this listen
Welcome back to Navigating Complexity, the podcast where host Danielle Dudai has conversations on life and the law with a little more humanity.
In this episode, Danielle is joined by Terra Sickler, a real estate attorney who also handles estate planning and probate. Tara describes her practice as “dirt and death,” and she breaks down what that actually means in plain English.
They cover what probate is, why a will does not avoid probate, how trusts work, and when a corporate trustee can step in if you do not have someone you trust personally. Tara also explains key real estate concepts like clear title, chain of title, surveys, encroachments, quiet title actions, and why fine print can turn into expensive problems if nobody reads the deed.
They also get real about business ownership, impostor syndrome, boundaries, burnout, collections, client expectations, and the people problems that come with building a firm.
If you are buying property, planning your estate, or you are just trying to understand the legal side of life without the jargon, this episode is for you.
