Let this conversation flow; never force it. Start by asking your parents, “Is there anything you’d like me to know about your health care wishes?” That can be a gentle way to test the waters and find out if your parents are ready or willing to share information with you. If not, respect their boundaries, make like Elsa, & let it go! At least you will have planted the seed to let them know you are thinking about it, you care, & you’re ready to listen if & when they’re ready to share. #estateplanning #massachusettsestateplan #leavealegacy #peaceofmind #financialwellness #massachusettsattorney #estateplan #healthcareproxy #livingwill #lastwillandtestament
