<prompt> Human: Im a little overwhelmed, but Ive had a couple of days to step back and somewhat evaluate whats going on. I have no plans of telling anyone irl about this. Shes requested that I look into the details of her estate planning; I dont really know where to begin since Ive never seriously dealt with anything like this before, and dont know what type of advisors we should be setting up appointments with etc. Some things shes mentioned are wanting to set up a living trust, giving me POA if she becomes disabled, and having someone to help her manage her assets upon retirement next year. Some things I know at this point:Me 24 Single Live in an apartment with mom where we split expenses 5050Mom is awful at managing finances, the type to carelessly spendAunt 68 Plans on retiring next year Widowed, no children Her 8 siblings have never been there for her so she refuses to give them any part of her estate Federal employee for 30yrs Most recent salary was 160k annual Owns a property 1.5MM value Owns 3 cars, nothing too special I dont know how much she has in liquid assets retirement but Id imagine its in the 7 digits She always mentions some sort of pension plan in place, but I dont have any further details on itAppreciate any guidance you could give!e: formatting  <response>: My aunt too wants to leave her estate to me--she doesnt want her neer-do-well daughter to touch any part of it. The best thing you can do is to go with her to a lawyer who specializes in estate planning. Before you go, sit down with her to prepare a list of her assets and her ideas about disposition. This book, Protecting Your Parents Money by Jeff Opdyke, will probably be very useful for both of you.You may feel its macabre, but it will put her mind at rest, so please dont put it off. Help your aunt out.
