How do you bring up estate planning with your parents? The best way to bring up estate planning with your parents is to get your own planning handled first. Then, let your parents know that in the process of handling your own planning, your lawyer raised the question of whether you were an agent under anyone else’s Power of Attorney, or named as a successor Trustee in your parents’ Trust, or if you are going to be caring for aging parents at some point. And, if you have worked with a lawyer and they didn’t ask you those questions, give us a call and let’s review your plan and your parents’ planning to make sure everything you’ll need is dialed in. This can all get quite messy very quickly, and now is the time to talk with your parents. Why the urgency? You might be thinking, “Why the rush? Can’t we tackle this later?” Here’s the scoop: Life is unpredictable, and procrastination can be a costly gamble. Waiting until a crisis strikes to get these tools in place can lead to a whirlwind of legal and emotional chaos, leaving your parents’ wishes unfulfilled and their affairs in disarray. By proactively planning ahead, you’re not just checking items off a to- do list; you’re investing in your parents’ peace of mind and yours. Don’t wait for a storm to hit — get in touch with us today. Our process is designed with your family’s well-being in mind, offering personalized guidance and support every step of the way. –Chasity and TC
