Is Your Estate Plan Actually
Protecting Anyone?

A free 14-minute estate planning masterclass explaining how families protect assets
from probate, lawsuits, and long-term care, with attorney Ben Turshen

About the Masterclass

Most families believe that once they have a will or trust, their planning is done.

In reality, many traditional estate plans fall short, not because families failed to plan, but because the plan was never designed to address the risks families actually face.

In this short, on-demand masterclass, estate planning and elder law attorney Ben Turshen explains how estate planning really works today, where common assumptions break down, and why families are often surprised by court involvement, long-term care costs, or loss of control.

This masterclass is educational, practical, and designed to help you understand the landscape before a crisis forces decisions.

What You Will Learn

In this 14-minute masterclass, Ben Turshen walks through the most common patterns he sees in his practice and the issues that repeatedly catch families off guard.

You will learn:

The five most common estate planning mistakes that create unnecessary cost, delay, and stress.
Why a simple will does not keep your family out of probate court?
How outdated or poorly designed plans can fail when families need them most?
Why long-term care costs are one of the biggest threats to family savings?
How families unintentionally leave assets exposed to probate, lawsuits, and loss of control?
How Solace’s Signature Approach is designed to help families protect their home, savings, and legacy during life and after death?

What This Masterclass Is and Is Not

This masterclass is designed to give you clarity and context.

It will help you understand how estate planning works, where risk tends to arise, and why many plans fail in real life.

It does not review your personal documents or determine whether your plan is sufficient. Individual circumstances require individualized guidance, which is addressed separately.

Why This Training Matters

Estate planning problems rarely appear right away.

They tend to surface:

When someone becomes seriously ill
After the unexpected death of a spouse
When family members disagree
When court involvement becomes unavoidable
When assets are delayed, restricted, or exposed

By the time families recognize these issues, their options are often limited.

This training is designed to help you recognize risk earlier so you can make thoughtful, informed decisions before a crisis occurs.

Ben began his legal career at top-tier international law firms, advising institutional clients including Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.

In 2019, his perspective changed completely. He suffered a sudden cardiac arrest from an undiagnosed congenital condition. Just weeks later, his wife nearly died from a life-threatening pregnancy complication.

At the time, they had no estate plan. Had they not survived, the courts, not their family, would have made decisions about their young daughter.

That experience led Ben to found Solace Estate Planning, with a focus on helping families protect what matters most through thoughtful, well-designed estate and asset protection planning.

Today, Ben combines elite legal training with a personal, compassionate approach to helping families gain clarity, control, and peace of mind.
