Welcome back to the Vital Women Podcast. I’m your host, Ivette O’Sullivan.

We are currently celebrating Women’s History Month, a time dedicated to honoring the pioneers who fought for women’s autonomy, property rights, and financial independence. But while we look back at history, today’s conversation is about looking forward and securing the legacies we are building right now.

Joining us is someone who helps women do exactly that. Lizzette Muñiz is the founder of the Law Office of Lizzette Muñiz, LLC. With offices in both the heart of Manhattan and the Hudson Valley, Lizzette is a powerhouse attorney who understands the unique challenges facing women in New York today, from the fast-paced life of the five boroughs to the growing communities upstate.

She specializes in helping families navigate life’s most critical transitions, specifically through the lens of Estate Planning. Lizzette, it is an honor to have you here to discuss why a Will or a Trust is perhaps the most empowering tool a woman can own. Welcome to the show!
