I am seeing more and more clients and friends dealing with the complications that can arise with aging parents. Before you are in that position, have an honest conversation with your parents about what they want and what they expect if they can not remain fully independent. If your parents are already experiencing the loss of some of the control they have always enjoyed, with their approval, become familiar with their business affairs so that you know the direction to pivot based on what may be thrown their way. Love sometimes means having hard conversations!

Thanks for your time,
Camille

This is a good article about some of the difficult things many of us will likely face with parents. It has some pretty good "what to do" and "what not to do" tips. I think it is worth your time to take a look:

Dealing with a stubborn or resistant older parent can be a difficult problem for adult children. Family caregivers and professionals have some hard-won lessons on how to manage these evolving relationships.

This is a fairly good, very basic article on Trusts. While several types of trusts are listed in the article, I would point out that by far, the most common trusts are those in which the Grantor, the Trustee, and the Beneficiary are all the same person(s). A trust is great option for streamlining the process after one's death, when the parties involved are least able to deal with business matters. Nothing needs to be done immediately, if at all. A well written trust allows for things to continue as they were, as opposed to the disruption, the cost and the pain of probate. This especially applies to those with minor children.

Just a note: if a loved one of yours dies, DON'T pay any of his/her debts until you visit with your attorney to figure out what legally has to be paid!

Thank you for your time.

I have seen a post circulating on Facebook encouraging people to write a last will and testament in order to avoid probate after death. This, among other information in the post, is not accurate. Having your estate pass to your loved ones through a Will guarantees your estate will be overseen by the Probate Court. It is a misconception that having a Last Will & Testament avoids probate, instead, it mandates probate. Please make sure you get your information from reputable sources, and don't rely on Facebook for important matters such as your estate plans.

Your real estate holdings, life insurance, bank accounts and retirement savings won’t magically flow into your trust. You have to put them there. Failure to do so could mean months of probate court hassles for your heirs.
