What happens when some family members see dollar signs in death? How do you navigate such a fraught situation?
In this episode, we're discussing family ties, estates, and confronting death, a topic many avoid.
I'm sharing a personal and painful story about Grace. After her mother Patricia's death, she discovered her sister had allegedly taken $350,000 from Patricia's account. This led to a legal fight put Grace through many challenging situations.
This episode isn't just about a financial family feud. It's a warning about the importance of understanding legal matters, especially concerning powers of attorney and discussions about death and inheritance. It's about preparing for what's inevitable – both legally and emotionally.
