PORTFOLIOS FOR PARENTS
-
Consider organizing your parents, so you aren’t forced to scramble if and when you need to step in. We can’t stress how important it is to do this while your parents are still able to share the information.
-
Discussing finances and estate planning with parents can feel uncomfortable, but waiting until a crisis occurs often leads to stress and confusion. Instead of stepping in when things fall apart, look for early signs that they may need help, such as:
• Disorganized records or missing paperwork
• Unpaid bills or unusual spending habits
• Memory lapses that affect financial decisions
Encourage them to get organized now to ensure a smooth transition when assistance is needed. Completing a Portfolio protects their assets, simplifies decision-making, and gives peace of mind—both to them and to you.
