Listen Later

In this personal episode of FIN LYT by EWA, Matt Blocki and Ben Ruttenberg delve into one of life's most challenging experiences: preparing for the passing of a loved one. Understanding the emotional weight and complexity of this topic, they offer compassionate guidance on how to manage financial affairs before a parent or loved one passes, focusing on the crucial

conversations and actions that can ease this transition.

Matt and Ben discuss the importance of proactive planning to ensure all financial aspects are orderly, which can significantly reduce the stress during such a trying time. They cover practical steps such as compiling a comprehensive list of assets, understanding the different types of assets and how they are handled upon passing, and the critical roles of wills, estates, and direct beneficiaries in simplifying the legal processes involved.

Matt and Ben offer insights into the execution of estate plans, including the setting up of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and the crucial aspects of healthcare directives. The episode also addresses the sensitive discussions that should occur with aging parents about their wishes and

financial plans, which, while tough, are essential for a smoother transition and to honor their legacy respectfully.
