Your Life Is a House of Cards | Niki Weiss

Your life is a house of cards. Legal, financial, physical and digital pieces all stacked on top of each other. When death, a terminal diagnosis or incapacity hits, one pulled card can bring the whole thing down on the people you love. In this short episode, Niki Weiss explains why death is still a taboo topic, why that makes it one of the most administratively complicated events a family will ever face, and how to plan for it like a project instead of a crisis. In this episode:- The four pillars of legacy readiness: legal, financial, physical and digital- The sandwich generation: caring for your kids and your parents at the same time- The phone test: if you died tomorrow and your phone died with you, could anyone get past multifactor authentication to shut down your digital life?- Why the worst time to plan a funeral is after someone has already died- Terminal diagnosis options: hospice, palliative care and medical aid in dying under Death with Dignity laws, and why your choices depend on your state- How to take the emotion out of planning so your true wishes are documented and understood Resources:ENDevo: https://www.endevo.lifePodcast website: https://digitallegacypodcast.com
