Your parents are getting older.
What legal issues do you face as they age?
What happens if they can't make decisions anymore?
Will their plan actually work the way they think it will?
What legal issues should you be prepared for?
These are good questions. And you don't clear answers.
That's what this Field Guide gives you.
It explains the legal basics of aging in plain English — so you understand what's coming and feel informed instead of uncertain.
“This course lays out most of the basics of later-life issues and gives sound information for making reasonable preparations to make things as easy as possible.”

Thinking ahead is smart for you and good for them. But if it feels confusing, that's normal.
Health changes. Big decisions. Family dynamics. Paperwork. It’s a lot.
The legal side of aging isn't something we're taught.
Most people feel overwhelmed.
They’re not sure what the law actually requires.
They don’t know what decisions really matter.
They don’t know when something is a crisis… or just a task.
But you can learn the basics — and once you do, everything feels manageable.
This Field Guide gives you the foundational
knowledge many wish they'd learned sooner.
The Challenge: Knowing What's Going On and What Will Happen
Your parents might have:
Documents they signed years ago
Accounts set up in different ways
A general sense that "things are handled"
They might not realize what they're missing or they might not have anything in place at all.
In any case, you probably don't fully understand how it all works together. And when you try to research it online, you get:
Conflicting information
Legal jargon
State-specific details that may or may not apply
Articles that assume you already know the basics
It's frustrating.
This Field Guide gives you a clear foundation — the core concepts that apply across the board — so you can understand what's happening in your own family's situation.
Here’s what I know for sure. Families don’t need more stress. They need a simple way to understand what actually happens — so they can support their parents with confidence.
You'll know what’s going on and what to do next.
Here’s What You’ll Learn. In plain English.
✅ What incapacity means — and what you can legally do when someone can't make decisions
✅ How wills and probate actually work — what triggers court involvement and what doesn't
✅ How property transfers after death — wills, beneficiaries, joint ownership, and trusts
✅ What powers of attorney do — and what they don't do (despite what people assume)
✅ Nursing home costs and planning options — what to expect and how families handle them
✅ When to call an attorney — and they value they should bring
You'll be able to say:
"I understand how this works. I know what I'm looking at. I feel informed."
The information you need, in context and without guesswork.
Provided by an insider who makes this understandable.

Here's the Reality
✅Most families lose time and money simply because they don’t understand how this works.
Even without being wealthy, navigating incapacity and estate issues without understanding the basics leads to costly mistakes, court involvement, and family conflict.
✅Knowledge saves money – and peace of mind.
I’ve seen families spend thousands on attorneys while in crisis because they didn’t have this foundational knowledge ahead of time.
✅You don’t need to become an expert — just informed.

A Note from me, Jen Gumbel
as seen and heard...
For over 15 years, I've worked with families navigating aging, incapacity, and loss. One thing I've noticed consistently:
Most people don't have the foundational knowledge they need.
Not because they're not smart or capable. But because nobody ever taught them how the legal side of aging works. They're learning as they go — often during a stressful time when it's hard to absorb new information.
Most people learn this in real-time — when they're already dealing with a challenging situation.
I created this Field Guide so you can learn it now — when you have time to think clearly and absorb the information.
This is the knowledge I wish more people had before they needed it. So my question for you is:
Are you ready?
What students ask before enrolling.
"My parents already have a will. Do I still need this?"
Yes — if you want to understand how it works. Having a will is great. But do you understand:
🔸What the will actually does (and doesn't do)?
🔸What happens to property that's not in the will?
🔸When probate happens (even with a will)?
🔸How powers of attorney work alongside a will?
This Field Guide helps you understand how the pieces work together.
"My parents won't talk about this. Will this still help?"
Yes. Even if your parents don't share details, understanding the legal basics helps you:
🔸Know what questions matter
🔸Understand what you're likely to encounter
🔸Feel more confident about what you're dealing with
Knowledge is valuable even when you don't have all the specifics about your parents' situation.
"Can't I just Google this information?"
You can try — but you'll find conflicting advice, state-specific details that may not apply, and legal jargon that assumes you already understand the basics.
This Field Guide gives you the foundational knowledge in one place, in plain English, from an attorney who's seen what actually matters in real families.
You'll save hours of confused research and actually understand what you're reading.
