In part two of Chris Boyd’s conversation with author Beth Pinsker, they dive into the legal and logistical realities families face when a loved one declines or passes away.
Beth shares firsthand stories about powers of attorney that didn’t work, banks refusing access, the maze of government agencies, and the surprising complications of digital assets.
One striking line from the show:
“I thought those documents were the golden ticket… and then I went to try to use a power of attorney.”
They also explore estate planning, fairness vs. equality among heirs, and how to prevent family conflict before it starts.
