Constructing an Estate Plan that Prepares for Likely and Unlikely Events Subject of Podcast Episode 11
COVID-19 has disrupted many aspects of everyday life and things many took for granted prior to March. Aside from stocking up on various supplies that ran out earlier this year, what else can you do to prepare for unlikely events like a once-in-a-century global pandemic? More to the point, what can you do to prepare for things that are far more likely to occur and much sooner? In episode 11 of the Second Half of Life podcast, Attorney Brittany Smith and Long-Term Care Planner Tammy Zilske talk about constructing an estate and long-term care plan that will protect your assets and leave you prepared for whatever life and the world has to throw at you in the future. Emergency and financial preparedness, a wise investment strategy, common mistakes to avoid in retirement planning, choosing the right decision makers and much more are discussed in this edition of the podcast.

Podcast Episode 10 Answers the Question, What's in Your Estate Planning Toolbox?
The process of estate planning can vary greatly from individual to individual and family to family. No two estate plans are the same, or at least, they probably shouldn't be. There are several tools that can be used in estate planning, and which ones should be used by different people vary. In episode 10 of the Second Half of Life podcast, "What's in Your Estate Planning Toolbox?," Attorney Landon Hodges and Long-Term Care Planner Kristin Daugherty take a look at some of these tools that will assist people in planning for their second half of life. Among several items, they discuss which documents everyone needs for estate planning, why a Power of Attorney may not be enough, beneficiary designations, advantages and disadvantages of transferring assets into a trust, special needs planning and ABLE accounts, and why pre-planning for long-term care costs provides the best options.
