An Estate Planning Podcast for Women Managing It All

The Death Readiness Podcast is an estate planning podcast for women navigating aging parents, growing children, family finances, and the decisions nobody wants to leave until it's too late.

Hosted by estate planning and probate attorney Jill Mastroianni, the show breaks down Wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, and the real-life family dynamics that make planning for the future complicated.

No law degree required. And definitely not your dad's estate planning podcast.
