A lot of people think about life insurance for their spouse or their kids, but never for the aging parent they help support, or the adult child who still depends on them.

In this episode, Lisa and Eric explain who you can actually insure beyond your immediate household, why insurable interest matters, and how these policies typically get set up.

If you're quietly covering costs for a parent or an adult child, this episode is about protecting that arrangement, not just assuming it'll work itself out.

If you run a business and haven't thought about what happens to it without you in the picture, this episode is the place to start.
