On this episode of Insight, Mo Howard is joined by Hilary Hodge, Director of Development and Marketing for Foothills Compassionate Care, and estate-planning attorney Dylan Hendricks of Hendricks McFarlane, P.C.

The conversation explores the importance of creating a will or living trust, choosing someone to make financial and healthcare decisions, avoiding the delays and costs of probate, and protecting homes and other assets. The guests also discuss advance healthcare directives, the Five Wishes program and why families should talk openly about end-of-life care before a crisis occurs.

Listeners will also learn about charitable legacy giving and tax-conscious ways to support Nevada County nonprofit organizations through retirement accounts, appreciated investments and donor-advised funds. It is a practical and approachable discussion about protecting the people you love and leaving a meaningful legacy in your community.
