Now here's Jim and Chris with today's show.

Well, hello again and welcome to the Retirement and IRA show, EDU edition for this week. Although this is an EDU edition,

it's going to feel a lot like a Q&A show. So we'll call it a specialty EDu. And like we told you, last week, last couple

weeks, we've been sharing that we were going to have some special guests on the show. And

today is one of those shows. Here in a moment, we'll bring on Shelley Thompson, who's a practicing

estate planning attorney and also teaches some estate planning at University of Colorado in Boulder here.

And she can share with us other exciting information about herself when she comes on.

But I've got Jim as well.

So there'll be three of us on the show today.

And we thought we had Shelley on back in July, and we talked to some basic estate planning topics, and we told people that we would invite her back, and if they had any estate planning of questions, that we should ask her to send them our way.

So Jim has accumulated quite a few estate planning related questions.
