Estate Planning and Insurance After Divorce

Let’s talk about everyone’s favorite topic: death and disaster! Kidding. Kind of.

In this episode, I sat down with Leah Hadley (who has so many professional credits after her name, that I’ll just let you scroll down to see all of them. Trust me. She’s qualified.) to tackle the post-divorce brain bender that is estate planning and insurance. 

If you’ve ever wanted to scream into the void because you don’t know what kind of health insurance to get or who should get your vintage Corelle dishes when you die, this episode is for you.

Because as Leah and I discussed, doing nothing is still doing something. But is it really what you WANT to do?

Key Takeaways: 

• Insurance isn’t evil. It’s protection.
• Health insurance gets complicated after divorce.
• Life insurance = love letter from the grave.
• Auto, renter’s, and umbrella insurance matter.
• Estate planning isn’t about death. It’s about love.
• Update beneficiaries, stat.
• Power of attorney & healthcare directives = urgent.
• Considering marriage again? Get a prenup.
