Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing is certain but death and taxes." Every April, we deal with one of them. We're making the case for tackling the other one, too.

If you have aging parents — or if you've been putting off your own planning — we wrote about something that doesn't get talked about enough: how to bring up end-of-life planning, what to do when they won't engage, and what happens to your family when there's no plan in place.
