# Estate Planning for New Professionals – FMJ Law Podcast Episode 8

[Josh Damberg](https://www.fmjlaw.com/professional/joshua-t-damberg/) from FMJ’s Trusts & Estates Practice Group joined [Adam Brown](https://www.fmjlaw.com/professional/adam-j-brown/) to talk about estate planning topics that new professionals and people just starting their estate planning journey should be thinking about. It is never too early to start planning!

Josh outlines some of the reasons to start planning now, and he discusses the basics such as wills, trusts, health care directives, and power of attorney. Josh explains to Adam what happens if there is no estate plan in place, and Josh dispels some of the myths about probate. Josh also talks about estate planning topics involving children and guardianship, beneficiary designation, buying property, digital assets and accounts, student loans, and even estate planning for your pets! Note: the producers are fairly positive that should something happen to Adam, Josh accepted custody of Adam’s dog, Madison.
