Tony Soprano : [while counting money] So, this estate planning shit, Carmela wants it and I got nothing against getting her well set up
Alan Ginsberg : The blue chip portfolio like your cousin suggested, to keep pace with inflation, if it makes your wife happy, Go with God
Tony Soprano : I'm supposed to make the money, she takes care of the house: that's the way it should be
Alan Ginsberg : This other thing your cousin advised, life insurance trust: big red flag
Tony Soprano : What? The kid said there's tremendous tax advantages
Alan Ginsberg : To Carmela, when you die, but present day if something unforeseen should arise, a divorce? That type of trust is irrevocable: that means it can't be changed.
