What really happened with Steve Irwin’s estate planning? The internet often suggests his plan fell short, but the full story is more nuanced. In Part 1 of this two-part discussion, Life’s Third Act takes a closer look at the legacy of Steve Irwin and the estate planning lessons business owners and families can learn from his story. While his mission-driven approach to conservation built an extraordinary global brand, it also created real challenges around liquidity, succession, and key-person risk after his unexpected death. In this first episode, we break down who Steve Irwin was, how his conservation empire was structured, and why his estate was anything but typical. In Part 2, we will examine what happened after his passing, where the real pressure points emerged, and the specific planning moves that could have made the transition smoother. If you own a business, support a mission-driven organization, or want to ensure your family is protected, this discussion offers practical insights you can apply today.
