What's in the guide

  1. 1

    The safety conversation

    How to find out if they're actually safe — not just "fine." The question they'll answer honestly.

  3. 3

    The money conversation

    Where is the will? Who has power of attorney? What happens if they can't manage their accounts tomorrow?

  4. 4

    The independence conversation

    How to talk about the future without triggering defensiveness. The reframe that actually works.

  5. 5

    The "who else knows" conversation
