Final Curtain-End of Life Planning and Finding Comfort with Hospice Part 2

In the second part of LAFO’s End of Life Planning episode, Warner Wealth advisor Robyn Wolcott, CFP®, and attorney Erin Duques are joined by Dr. Joseph Sacco, Chief Medical Officer at Connecticut Hospice, to discuss the essentials of end-of-life planning. They explain the importance of naming a healthcare representative—someone who can make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to communicate. The conversation also addresses what to consider if family members disagree about who should take on this role, and why having a clearly designated person ensures your wishes are respected during critical medical situations. The episode also covers key planning documents, including a living will and the MOLST (Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). These tools help outline your specific preferences for care, from nutrition and hydration to advanced interventions like respiratory support, ensuring your medical treatment aligns with your values and goals.

Houston We Have a Minor Problem

In the “Houston, We Have a Minor Problem” episode of Law and Financial Order, financial advisor Robyn Wolcott and attorney Erin Duques discuss the importance of planning ahead for your children’s future. They explain why it’s essential to choose not only who would care for your children, but also who would manage their finances if something happened to you. The episode covers helpful planning tools such as trusts, Roth IRAs, 529 education savings plans, and UTMA custodial accounts, which allow adults to manage investments on behalf of a minor until they reach adulthood. As always, every family’s situation is different, so it’s important to speak with your financial and legal professionals to determine the best approach for your family.
