• What are powers of attorney? How can they help?
• How can we help our aging parents?
• How do we get things going if our parents never visited with an attorney?
• What do we do if we think there is some abuse?  Or if we are worried there is a chance of abuse someday?
• When should we be worried and what can we do to be confident?

Get some practical advice to reduce conflict, increase success and keep you and your loved ones safe.

If you have not had the opportunity to take an estate through probate, you likely dread the process like you might dread the Department of Motor Vehicles. But Leia Ursery will teach us that sometimes, it is just the best way to go!

• What is probate and how does it help our survivors?
• What do we need to know about common law marriage?
• The 7 year rule myth–the truth is you can be married very quickly!
• The 10 year rule truth–how a spouse’s interests in property “vests” over time.
• How can probate resolve disputes over common law marriage, disputes between children and other survivors, and more?
• How can we avoid probate? And when should we avoid it vs going through probate?

No such thing as a common law divorce! Learn the first three steps Leia recommends we take when we are the person in charge of a decedent’s estate. And learn about how to handle legally-controlled items like fire-arms, driving the decedent’s cars and what to do with drugs and substances (some of which may be illegal!).

In this 20 minute episode, we continue our conversations about investments other than equities and bonds:

• Real estate–and how we can be rewarded and take on concentrated risk.
• We talk about leverage, as in, do we want more debt? Pros and cons.
• We talk about recession, but it’s not depressing!

We discuss a recent Zoominar A&I Financial Services held with a China expert,

• We talk about gold…for goodness sakes!
• And finally, we learn the best strategies to use in the game of Risk.

In this 20 minute episode, we discuss what we can do about inflation:

Reasons we have inflation. Are they just monetary? Are they policy related?

How the Federal Reserve can help and likely has not helped, but hindered, inflation over the previous decade.

We take a special look at mortgage rates and make a prediction—it may not be like the past. In fact, in the past, after a mortgage increase, the next few quarters have seen a decline in mortgage rates. Is this time different?

And finally, learn three things we can do in an inflationary world.

This is a time to recalibrate our lives. As Nate Merrill says, to “go wherever our heart is.” For more information, visit the websites of any of the expert network team members.

• Comparison of today’s rates with the past and how that may affect us—in particular, we discuss gasoline prices
• What types of products are we spending more on, and buying less of. Where are businesses making more money and selling less?
• And finally, learn some interesting recent statistics about today’s inflation environment.

Jeff Krommendyk, Karl Frank, CFP and Nathan Merrill dive into a conversation about death and come out feeling inspired. No, really.

• Start with the legal documents.
• Move into the soft stuff which is WAY more important anyway.
• Provide some links and recommendations for practical planning and conversation starters.

Learn the three fundamentals of an AMD (Advanced Medical Directive). We briefly cover the medical power of attorney too so that you can safely go into a conversation with an attorney, and not have your head spinning. We talk a little about the differences between state laws, and how important (and easy) it is to keep your legal documents up-to-date.

Then, we talk about what happens when we talk about death. I mean, it is not always a downer. And ultimately, it is an incredible, powerful and amazing gift we give ourselves and our loved ones when we do it the way we want to do it–which is different for each and every one of us.

Jeff Krommendyk, Karl Frank, CFP and Nathan Merrill are still experiencing panic at the office. Or rather, with all the heightened tensions around the world, we are noticing that we, our team members, our partners, clients, vendors are on edge.

In the second of a two part series, we are getting real and provide practical advice to keep ourselves, and our teams, on track in “a time in our lives like no other.” How do we provide counsel to our team, family and friends?

• Recognize that the information we, and our team, takes in determines a great deal of our happiness.
• Our stress level is directly associated with the media intake level. The more you plug in, the more you are likely to check out. So take it seriously!
• Coping mechanisms include exercise, prayer, music, service, eating and hydration, and “disciplines”.
• We can talk with our team about their bucket–leaky bucket–and how we each need to fill it, over and over again, with good stuff.
• Help our team, and ourselves, to manage expectations.
• And finally, learn the prayer that just provides us solace–the serenity prayer–as we go through these trying times.

In this two part series, we are going to discuss ways to reduce the stress and increase the happiness of our team.

• Recognize the causes of heightened emotion.
• Self-assessment–you cannot lead if you cannot heal yourself.
• Pay special attention to the media you consume. Identify the sources of stress are usually news, social media and more.
• Like being on a diet, measure the amount of media/news we take in.
• Prioritize your news and media consumption into three buckets, good, better and best. Ignore the sensationalism. And discard the rest!
• And turn to slower information sources, like books.

“When I was your age, television was called books” says the wise grandfather in Princess Bride. We recommend slowing down our thinking to help us frame today’s situation with a healthy, long-term perspective. One of the books we both recommend is Accidental Superpower. And, finally, laughter.
