What to Do (and Not Do) When Someone You Love Dies
33m | Oct 22, 2026When someone you love dies, the world starts demanding answers before you've even had a moment to breathe.
In this episode, estate planning attorney Brooke Hardie walks you through the first 72 hours after a death: what actually needs attention, what can wait, and how to protect yourself and the people you love during the most disorienting days of your life.
You'll learn what your job really is in those first hours, how to work with a funeral home without getting taken advantage of, who actually has legal authority over what, how to secure the house and the assets, how many death certificates to order, what scammers do when someone dies and how to spot them, and what you absolutely do not have to deal with yet.
Whether you're in the middle of it or you just want to be prepared, this is the episode.
Life is legal. Death is too.
