Season 2 Episode 45

Introducing the family to your estate plan (and your advisor)

The holidays are a time for family, and for some, for the first time since the pandemic, multigenerational gatherings, which makes them the ideal time to talk with your family about your estate plan. In this episode of ÃÛѨÊÓƵ’ Everyday Wealthâ„¢, Jean and wealth planner Andy Smith discuss how to broach the topic of estate planning – from what to say to who to say it to – and how a planner could make those conversations a lot easier. Later in the episode, Jean interviews Dr. Karl Pillemer, one of America’s leading family sociologists and researchers on aging, on family estrangement and how to navigate difficult conversations with family members during the holidays.
