The estate planning conversation is one that many families avoid — it can feel uncomfortable, morbid, or premature. But having an open discussion about your wishes, your documents, and your expectations is one of the most important things you can do to prevent confusion, conflict, and costly legal battles after you are gone. Start by choosing a calm, private setting. Frame the conversation around love and protection, not death. Share where your documents are stored and who your executor, trustee, and healthcare agent are. Encourage other family members to create their own plans.
