In this episode, Molly sits down with Chris Vanderbilt, founder of One Step After, to discuss how his platform helps prevent a post-loss disaster by helping families manage the emotional and logistical challenges that follow a loved one’s passing.
After losing both of his parents, Chris saw how even well-prepared families struggle with the practical realities that follow a loss. His experience led to the creation of One Step After, a platform that bridges the gap between legal estate planning and the real-world tasks that come next.
Key Takeaways:
- Use a clear, consistent interview process that focuses on values, skills, and long-term fit.
- One Step After connects legal estate planning with real-world after-loss management, covering the tasks often left out of the legal process.
- Families are encouraged to discuss estate plans early—beyond documents—to include personal wishes and meaningful details.
