The loss of my Stepdad is what started the concept of Aging is Messy.

Being self-employed, I was in a position to help my mom take care of things when he passed and sort through his affairs to get things squared away. Even though I had ample time to help her, it was a maze of paperwork and headaches that took a lot of time. Not everyone will be lucky enough to have the same amount of time available to help a parent (or spouse, sibling, or child) deal with something like this down the road.

Why should you consider the Aging is Messy resource guide? Because it’s easy to read and to the point. It includes things that many other checklists don’t have. There are explanations that are simple to understand because they aren’t in legal terms. The biggest reason is to protect yourself and your family. Don’t wait until something happens to you, your spouse, a parent, or an adult child. Taking care of things now will help prevent added burdens while you’re dealing with the grief of losing a loved one.   

I am not a lawyer or financial advisor, just an ordinary wife, mother, daughter, and sister. There’s nothing about me that makes me smarter or better than anyone out there. I know what we went through and wish there had been a way to avoid it. Aging is Messy is strictly a resource to help you identify things that can be taken care of now.
