Northglenn, CO estate planning & probate attorney Kayla Seale discusses the estate and financial planning that should be done to protect your parents as they age. She explains that in terms of future planning for parents, estate planning is crucial. Setting up power of attorney documents is essential to ensure that the children can assist the parents if needed. A financial planner can help with the financial aspects of estate planning such as asset management. However, it is important to make sure that the parents have designated someone to take care of them if they can no longer make their own decisions or don’t want to. This can be done by setting up a financial power of attorney or medical power of attorney, which allows the child to help with any financial or medical matters that may arise.
