When it comes to estate planning, assigning roles to your loved ones can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re considering putting one person in charge of multiple responsibilities. In this mailbag episode, Nick addresses a common listener question: Can my daughter be both the executor of my will and my healthcare power of attorney? Or is that too much for one person?
Nick unpacks the legal and emotional considerations behind combining roles like executor, financial POA, and medical POA. He explains why choosing the right person for each job is more important than spreading responsibilities evenly, and how many of these duties happen at different stages of life. With practical advice and real-world examples—including his own family—this episode helps demystify one of the most important (and personal) estate planning decisions you’ll ever make.
