Airs Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 8 p.m. on KPBS TV

Authors, legacy expert attorneys and husband and wife duo, Danielle and Andy Mayoras have compiled stories of highly publicized estate battles of celebrities and other wealthy individuals such as Sonny Bono, Marlon Brando, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson and James Brown. Danielle and Andy’s television special is based on their book, "Trial & Heirs: Famous Fortune Fights!"

While it's interesting to peek into the courtroom to see how the rich failed to adequately prepare their estates, the Mayoras' have a much nobler goal. Intertwined with the tabloid stories, they provide in this 60-minute public television special concrete information about estate planning.

While few people like to discuss estate planning, the program provides easy to follow steps to help you understand the process and how to prepare an estate plan that will serve you and your heirs.
