JH Advanced Markets Radio 

Death of the Rich and Famous

with Jeff Baskies

This past year we witnessed the deaths of celebrities including Lynn Redgrave, Lena Horne, Art Linkletter, Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper, Rue McClanahan, George Steinbrenner, Mitch Miller, and Patricia Neal. Today we re-air our JHAM broadcast featuring Estates of the Rich and Famous with guest Jeffrey Baskies as a reminder of the type of work we do for the families left behind. Jeffrey A. Baskies,attorney with Katz Baskies LLC, a Boca Raton, FL boutique trusts & estates, tax & business law firm, joins Randy Zipse, VP and Senior Counsel, John Hancock Advanced Markets Group to discuss that what we learn from the very public estate settlements of celebrities can help us advise our clients on matters of importance -- irrespective of fame.
