From Game Shows to Estate Plans: Insights we can Learn from Regis
Regis Philbin, the Guinness World Record holder for the most hours on US television, was a familiar face in millions of homes for decades. By the time he retired from his show Live with Regis and Kelly in 2011, he had spent more than 16,740 hours in front of the camera. While Philbin accumulated most of his net worth as the host of game and talk shows, his estate planning documents and court records show that he also left millions in other assets behind. If you ever watched Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, you might remember Regis offering lifelines: phone a friend, poll the audience, or narrow the choices. He also left a meaningful legacy with preparation. When it comes to your estate plan, though, you don’t want to guess—or leave your loved ones guessing. You can’t phone a friend when you are gone! Your family wants clarity, comfort, and a plan that works, even when life throws a curveball. That’s what a good estate plan does. It’s your final answer—not something left up to chance.
