Estate Planning Realities: What Happens When You Don’t Plan—and Why Women Pay the Price
In this powerful episode of Get Ready for Better Aging, host Jacqui Clark welcomes estate planning attorney Anna Howard of AC Howard Law to break down what estate planning really means—and why it matters for everyone, not just the wealthy. Together they unpack the “emergency documents” every adult should have, including healthcare directives and powers of attorney, and reveal the real-world consequences of putting planning off.
From costly probate and family conflict to heartbreaking cases like Terri Schiavo, Anna explains how failing to plan can leave loved ones in crisis. The conversation also spotlights why women are uniquely vulnerable, especially when they’re left in the dark about finances or legal authority as partners decline.
With practical guidance, clear language, and eye-opening examples, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to protect their wishes, their family, and their legacy—before it’s too late.
