Helping Without Taking Over: Legal and Financial Tools for Caregivers
Supporting an aging parent often means stepping into difficult conversations about finances, healthcare decisions, and future planning. Many adult children find themselves wondering when to step in, how much help is appropriate, and what legal and financial tools should be in place before a crisis occurs.

Join us for a practical discussion on the documents, strategies, and resources that can help families prepare for the future while respecting a parent's independence and dignity. Learn about powers of attorney, healthcare decision-making, financial organization, and other important planning tools that can reduce stress and provide peace of mind for the entire family.

Leave with a better understanding of how to support aging loved ones, avoid common pitfalls, and confidently navigate the balance between helping and taking over.
