5.0 out of 5 stars
Hits all the points,
By Deborah Phillips (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Protect Your Parents and Their Financial Health: Talk With Them Before It's Too Late (Paperback)
Susan Richards does a good job with the subject. She doesn't just tell you what to find out about your parent's finances but also discusses thoughtfully how to approach your parents on the topic. She addresses the psychological aspects of these issues.One caveat: the book does not address how to handle your parents' finances if there are too few assets. For instance, it may not provide many answers for adult children of very poor parents. The book assumes your parents have at least some assets to protect/manage. Much of the information applies to all, though. I'm sending copies of this book to my brothers and sisters even though it will be several years before we need it.
