Melissa Joy is joined by estate planning attorney Joan Skrzyniarz, practice group chair of trusts and estates at Dickinson Wright in Troy, Michigan. 

Joan and Melissa discuss:

• Why for estate planning, perfection can be the enemy of progress.
• The documents you need in place during a pandemic (medical powers of attorney, financial power of attorney, wills, and trusts).
• The importance of a parental designation of guardian document for parents of minor children, especially during a health pandemic.
• How Joan has developed a family emergency plan for friends and neighbors to help their kids if mom and dad get sick.
• Joan's mantra during this time of uncertainty, "don't be panicked, be prepared." 
• Why estate planning and financial planning help you to "prepare for everything" including unexpected moments like we're experiencing now.
