I went to an estate planning workshop a few days ago. Unfortunately the venue had poor acoustics and I had a hard time hearing the presentation.

I knew going in it would basically be a sales presentation, but thought it might be helpful to get some ideas and see if there were any aspects I should consider.

If we already have recent wills, POA, healthcare POA, and living wills, is there anything estate planning can offer that I haven't covered?

I'm retired but my wife still works, for maybe 4 more years. Our retirement accounts are at Fidelity and I manage them (for better or for worse), and I think we're positioned well for retirement.

We live in NC. I heard that wills don't skip probate but that trusts do. Is that something worthwhile that spending money for estate planning would be worthwhile?

What don't I know that I don't know? (The list may be long). 😜

Is there a good, short YT video that will capture the attention of a teen and give them a solid understanding of the magic of compounding?

I had to change a global security setting to install a new version of Newpipe, then accidentally deleted the screen for that setting without reverting it. Now I don't recall what that setting is so I can revert it.

Can anyone tell me the name of that setting? (Android 16 on a Pixel 8 pro, stock).

Edit: found it. Advanced protection>Device protection.

I know I can see and have some control with authorized accounts on my main account. What all can I legally do with an authorized account?

For instance, I have a busy older son who wants me to create and manage some child accounts under his account. Is that something I could do if I am authorized on his account (iow, I can see his account under mine)? I want to contribute a little to some grandchildren and get them started on their investing journey.
