Jayson Lowe recounts that both his parents died suddenly without proper estate planning, leaving him and his sister to sort through complex estate and tax issues. He asks viewers whether they've experienced similar situations, highlighting how unexpected death complicates financial and administrative matters at a time when families should be grieving.
Both my parents passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, and neither one of my parents had proper planning in place, and my sister and I were left with a mess that we had to work through and to deal with. And I wanted to ask all of you if you've experienced an event where you've lost a loved one and you've had to deal with estate issues, tax issues.
Really, at a time, of course, when you should be taking the time to grieve and to mourn the loss of that person that you loved and cared about. But what we do know is that we've never met a single client who's had to face the death of a loved one who said, you know what? Bob passed away at exactly the right time.
