## Resource

What happens when a parent develops dementia and an attorney tells your family it’s “too late” to update estate planning? In this week’s Tuesday Triage episode, Jill walks through a real-life scenario involving outdated trusts, powers of attorney, probate versus non-probate property, and the estate planning opportunities that may still exist even after incapacity enters the picture. This episode explores how understanding asset titling, existing estate planning documents, and revocable trusts can help families creatively adapt an older estate plan to current realities.
