Listen Later

Think end-of-life planning is only for the wealthy? Here’s what every woman 50+ needs to know.

End-of-life planninng for women over 50 isn't about wealth —it’s about clarity, care, and protecting what matters most.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Sara Ecklein, a Licensed Professional Fiduciary and founder of Trust & Honor, to break down how estate planning without millions is not only possible—it’s essential.

We explore:

  • What a fiduciary actually does and how to protect your loved ones without without a will
  • The critical difference between power of attorney vs. healthcare proxy 
  • Real-life stories, including a 70-year-old woman whose lack of planning led to financial and healthcare crises
  • The hidden risks of solo aging—and how to stay in control of your future
  • Why so many families fall apart over end-of-life care and how to avoid family conflict over inheritance. 

Whether you’re planning your own legacy, caring for aging parents, or just starting to think about the future, this episode gives you the tools—and the mindset shift—to act with clarity and heart.
