The hardest part of helping aging parents should not be knowing where anything is.
After talking with families and clients over the years, one pattern shows up repeatedly.
When a parent begins needing help, family members often don’t know:
-what accounts exist
-where legal documents are stored
-what medications they take
-who has power of attorney
-what bills are on autopay
The emotional side is hard enough. The operational side often creates just as much stress.
The families who fare best are usually the ones who start organizing early.
What was the most difficult piece of information to locate when you began helping a parent?
