Understanding Key Esquire: A Modern Approach to Real Estate Law & Estate Planning with Ruma Mazumdar
What inspired the creation of Trust Issues podcast and its mission?
Trust Issues was created to address the gap in wealth-building education, particularly for those who weren't raised with the language of wealth. The podcast focuses on protection, legacy, and having real conversations around money, legal moves, and essential mindset shifts. It's designed for those who learned hustle and sacrifice but weren't taught how to build, protect, and pass on wealth.
What is Ruma Mazumdar's background and journey into law?
Growing up in a typical immigrant household, Ruma's parents built their business through grit and hustle. Despite achieving success as a New York City attorney making six figures in her 20s, she felt unprepared for wealth management. The pandemic period led her to specialize in real estate law and estate planning, driven by the belief that protection is as crucial as wealth creation.
How did Key Esquire come to be, and what makes it unique?
Key Esquire was born from both whim and intentionality during a major life transition.

Why combine real estate and estate planning under one roof?

The combination allows for a proactive approach to both wealth creation and protection, offering clients a comprehensive solution for their financial future.
