Talk to the Family

"I'm worried about my parents. I don't know if they have their affairs in order and they refuse to talk about their estate plan."

This is a typical comment of adult children whose parents are in their senior years. Children care about their parents but don't feel comfortable talking to them about what will happen after their parents are gone. Unfortunately, this silence can have negative effects for children once their parents are deceased. Most seniors never had their parents talk with them about their estate plan and don't think it is their children's business. Now though, with more legal complexities it is important for children to have some idea what would be involved if their parents aren't able to handle their own affairs or pass away.
