Kelly sits down with estate planning and probate attorney Jessica Lynn Silva to make sure that isn't you or the people you love. Jessica brings law to real life, taking something that feels overwhelming and complex and breaking it down to "I need this, and here's why." She walks through exactly what a complete estate plan includes, durable power of attorney, healthcare surrogate, pre-need guardians for your kids, and your wills and trusts, and the difference between the families whose affairs are "tied up with a bow" and the ones forced through months of court, expense, and chaos.
