In part two of the Gene Hackman series, host Joe Cordell and co-host Sherry Farmer take a deeper look into the late actor’s estate plan and will.

Hackman left his entire fortune to his wife, Betsy Arakawa—but her will contained an unusual clause: if the couple died within 90 days of one another, their combined estate would be donated to charity.

Why would Gene Hackman structure his estate this way? Where does this leave his children? And did his advanced Alzheimer’s play a role in these decisions?

Join Joe Cordell as he explores the legal implications, estate planning strategy, and the impact of simultaneous death clauses in this compelling episode of Life’s Third Act.
