Lisa Wexler breaks down a recent Connecticut Supreme Court decision that allows non-patients to sue a hospital under narrow circumstances. The ruling stems from a tragic case in which a patient, released to his home with access to firearms, killed his girlfriend and himself. The court recognized the claim as negligence extending beyond the patient. Lisa also takes listener questions on key estate planning topics, including the difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts, what a pour-over will is, why people use trusts, costs for a revocable trust, whether trusts make sense when beneficiaries don’t get along, and how to choose the right executor for your will.
