How Not To Tear Your Family Apart

Synopsis

“In a new world of caring for an aging parent, the leading expert in long-term care provides a three-step framework for having difficult discussions and preparing the options ahead of time that will work best for your parent(s) and family. You owe it to yourself and loved ones to read this book!” -Betty Meredith, CFA®, CFP®, CRC®

Experience is an excellent teacher—but it can be a harsh master. We are living longer, and aging takes its toll on our ability to remain totally independent. No matter how you define "family," you will find yourself in the role of caregiver, caring for a caregiver, or being cared for by a caregiver. Life doesn't stop while you're caught up in caring and juggling your own life. With no real training for this multi-faceted, multi-generational role, you must find a path that doesn't destroy relationships or create financial havoc.

An Advisor/Agent Tool

Recently, an advisor mentioned to me that he and a colleague are using the book as a basic “textbook” to become familiar with limited, extended, and long-term care options. It’s part of fulfilling their fiduciary obligation. The links, charts, diagrams, and footnotes allow them to dig deeper so they have the ability to work more effectively with their client. The story of the Jones family provides a human context to the data and information, especially when shared with a client…which is exactly what they are doing. It’s a less invasive way of creating a practical approach to a ‘taboo’ topic.

Book Excerpt

How Not To Tear Your Family Apart

My mission is to demystify the extended and long-term care planning process and to provide actionable information that you can use to help your family prepare for a financially stable future. The emphasis is on uncovering potential options and not on recommending specific financial products or services. Products and services may apply differently to your situation and new products and services will be introduced over time, but my hope is this story increases your familiarity with available options and moves you to action. Knowledge is a powerful tool.
