Having parents with money doesn’t mean planning is easier—just different.

In this episode, Dr. Jay and Bri explore what it really means to be the childfree adult expected to step in when your wealthy parents age, pass, or hand over the keys to the family empire. From complex trust structures to inherited businesses, sibling conflict, and the emotional toll of taking over someone else’s legacy, they cover it all.

We'll cover:
- What documents and conversations you must have with wealthy parents
- Why financial planning should include both parties—parents AND you
- When to bring in professionals (hint: now)
- How to avoid family feuds before they start

Whether you’re dealing with land, crypto, or cold wallet passwords, this episode will help you plan smarter and sleep easier.
