Circle Back on Inheritance with Stories Ripped From the Headlines--S3.E6

Our two episodes on "Inheritance" have generated by far the most listener responses. This is our third circle back on the subject with stories ripped from the headlines. Supermodel Paulina Porizkova was shocked to find out last year that her estranged husband, Ric Ocasek, had cut her out of his will completely. They had co-mingled their earnings during their thirty-five year marriage, but she handed off financial oversight to her husband and their business manager. We discuss her story and tease out the lessons learned.

The second scenario is about Marie Osmond's announcement on "The Talk" that she would be leaving all her money to charity and nothing to her seven children because she wants them to find their own way in life.

Ethics and Etiquette is a thought-provoking dialogue about everyday dilemmas. The podcast panel is made up of author and host Marna Ashburn; wife, mother, and attorney Kelly Halligan Zimmerman; and Mike Derrick, a retired Army Officer, combat vet, and father of four. Our goal is to offer you insights and perspectives on sticky situations so you can better examine your choices and exercise your own ethical muscles.

New episodes are posted the first and third Wednesday of every month. Find them wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
