Building Your Bench | Maddy Roche & Bri Conn, CFP®

Who's on your bench? When you're building a Childfree life on your own terms, the professionals and teammates you surround yourself with make all the difference in how well you age.

In this episode, Maddy Roche and Bri Conn, CFP®, walk through the essential people you need in your corner, from certified financial planners who understand Childfree planning to aging care managers who can help you navigate long-term care. They tackle why estate planning is more complex when you don't have a next generation to handle decisions, how Childfree Trust® provides a professional fiduciary solution, and why outsourcing the right things frees you to focus on what matters most.

Key Takeaways:

• CFP® professionals are fiduciaries legally obligated to act in your best interest, and finding one who understands how being Childfree fundamentally changes your financial picture ensures you get advice that actually fits your goals.
• Medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney, executor, and trustee are essential positions that take time to fill, especially when you don't have a next generation to rely on.
• Childfree Trust® provides a professional fiduciary solution. Acting in all 50 states as any of the four key estate planning roles, Childfree Trust® can serve as your primary choice or backup option, giving your existing representatives the gift of being able to transfer responsibility if needed.
• Whether it's tax preparation, home maintenance, or health management, identifying what you can delegate to professionals frees you to spend time with people and activities you actually care about.
• Primary care doctors, aging care managers, personal trainers, and community leaders all play a role in preventing issues before they arise and ensuring you have advocates when you need them.
