The conversation is often laced with worries about trust, fairness, and what it means for a relationship. That’s exactly why we felt it was important to bring clarity to this conversation. To help us do just that, we invited Larae Schraeder, an award-winning attorney from Schraeder Law , who specializes in estate planning, probate, and elder law. Larae brings a wealth of experience, with her background in both law and financial services, making her perspective especially valuable for this topic.
