From designating a power of attorney to understanding the legal implications of asset ownership abroad, Sharon walks us through practical strategies to safeguard your financial life in turbulent times.
We also discuss the emotional toll of financial uncertainty, the ripple effects on families, and why proactive planning is a form of empowerment.
