Take Back Retirement

110: Navigating the Complexities of Aging: Proactive Planning for Seniors and Families with Jill and Steve Marshall


Listen Later

Our hosts Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines sit down with Steve and Jill Marshall of Silver Path Consulting to discuss all things future care, from housing, to finance, to family support.

 

Jill and Steve lament the current lack of societal preparedness for a growing senior population, often referred to as a “silver tsunami” that’s growing bigger each year.

 

They stress the importance of starting early discussions about aging within families, the benefits and drawbacks of different living arrangements, and an effective way to handle comprehensive information and resource management between the adult children of aging parents.

 

The Marshalls also discuss essential legal documents like wills, durable power of attorney, and healthcare power of attorney. Drawing from the recent tragic situation around the passing of Gene Hackman and his wife, they also discuss some technological solutions that adult children can use to facilitate elder care and the value of expert consultation to provide neutral, third-party advice that can ease family tensions.
