Life, Loss and Legacy - A PlanningSolo Podcast
When you're in the midst of grief, it can be close to impossible to keep up the habits that you know are good for you - eating well, regular exercise, social outlets. And that's completely natural! But what we find many of the people we work with do, is they slowly find their way back into a healthier groove. Which is why in this episode of Life, Loss and Legacy, I've asked Perry Adolphus to come on and discuss what that healthier groove can involve. Perry's a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with deep experience in helping people from every walk of life (not super gym bros or athletes!)...

Finalising an estate is both emotionally and structurally complex. And one of the key complexities executors (and beneficiaries) will need to wrestle with is how it's all affected by tax. This is a tough topic - it can be dry, remote and blindingly difficult for a layperson to come to grips with. Which is why I've invited Daniel Vicino and Phil Seath - CPAs from in Melbourne - to come on the podcast and take us through some of the (many) considerations executors will need to work with. We discuss: Why it's so important to find the right adviser to help you navigate...

Every working Australian will have, somewhere, a superannuation account. And in that account will be some money and, likely, some insurance. But how do you, as the executor of your loved one's estate, handle this unique and complex asset? Who do you speak with, what do you ask them, how will they handle it, where do you go? Well, I've asked independent financial adviser, Nathan Fradley of Fradley Advice, to join me in this week's episode to explore this very detailed and, frankly weird, topic. Because dealing with superannuation as a widow can be confronting, difficult and...

It's not at all pleasant, but the topic of life insurance was always going to be something I had to cover in this podcast series. Not only because it's complicated, abstract and important - but also because responsible people have life insurance in place. And when they pass away, the people they leave behind need to untangle what it all means. Which is why I've asked Stephen Price, of Integer Financial, to come on and take us through the ins and outs of life insurance. Stephen's an insurance specialist with deep expertise in these critically important policies. We discuss: ...
