When someone dies, it's up to the people left behind to piece their lives together using only the clues left behind. What if the person who died was the one who paid the bills? Or, what if you haven't spoken to them in a really long time?

Jan Fran meets Kate, who's in her forties and at a complete loss about how to piece together her estranged father's deceased estate. Enter financial advisor Donna Lee Powell, who came out of retirement to help other people navigate their financial woes when her own husband died suddenly.

We'll learn how to untangle that dead man admin, and what conversations you and your partner should be having now (and what measures to put in place) to avoid total panic later.
