275: Protecting Women's Wealth

Welcome back, Money Lover! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that I’m incredibly passionate about: protecting women’s wealth. This is a conversation that applies to everyone—whether you’re a woman looking to safeguard your financial future or someone who wants to support the women in your life.Protecting wealth isn’t a new topic around here. It’s the final step in our 7 Steps to Wealth framework, and we spent the last few episodes talking about different ways to protect your wealth in relationships–with yourself and others. This week we’re wrapping up that series with an episode focused on financial planning considerations for women.Women have long been praised for their generosity, often being encouraged to give their resources away. However, true financial security begins with keeping and growing wealth, not sacrificing it. This is especially important when you consider some of the life experiences women tend to go through, particularly as they relate to longevity and the evolution of our financial needs in different stages of life.Financial empowerment starts with recognizing that no one cares more about your money than you do. Staying informed and actively engaged in financial decisions is essential to building lasting wealth–and that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. ⬇️Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money®:03:10 The societal belief that has held women back, why we need to stop celebrating self-sacrifice, and the mental reframe we need when it comes to women and wealth 05:07 The three best practices we recommend for building long-term wealth, and how longevity impacts financial planning 06:43 How work-life balance, traditional gender roles, and caregiving responsibilities impact women’s earning capacity and financial well-being 07:40 How to stake a claim in your household’s wealth management, and why trust isn’t a substitute for knowing9:33 What you need to know if you want to be informed and empowered about your finances, retirement planning for surviving spouses, and benefit distribution12:53 Reviewing beneficiary designations, estate plans, and insurance coverage as your financial needs fluctuate and change over time14:27 What your mindset, emotional needs, and personal goals have to do with your financial planning 16:10 Signs it’s time to find a new financial advisor, and how our team works with high net worth women and couples with wealth to protect their best interests and their assets Show NotesTo get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/protecting-womens-wealthFollow Hilary on:LinkedIn InstagramYouTube  Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.

274: Skipping "I Do": How to Safeguard Your Finances as an Unmarried Couple with Melanie Lockert

A lot of people have purely romantic notions about marriage, but the truth is that marriage, in its simplest form, is a contract that provides legal protection. That contract is meant to cover ownership of real estate, division of assets, determination of healthcare directives, and more. Not everyone wants to enter into the terms of that contract, but their relationships still deserve respect and their wealth and assets still deserve protection. So if you’re interested in a long-term romantic partnership and want to build a life with someone–without the legal commitment–this is the episode for you. 👇 I’m joined by Melanie Lockert, an award-winning finance writer, public speaker, event planner, and founder of Lola Retreat for women. We talked about why many people are opting out of marriage, how unmarried partners can be legally vulnerable, and steps you can take to protect yourself–and your partner–financially, in case of separation or unexpected health events.Today’s interview is a follow-up to last week’s conversation with estate attorney Kara Foster about prenups and postnups–head to hendershottwealth.com/273 if you missed that one!Whether you’re on the fence or fully decided about your personal stance on marriage, both episodes are worth a listen… especially if you need a reminder to update the beneficiaries on your policies and accounts. 👀Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money®:02:44 Why Melanie became interested in writing about the financial implications of unmarried partnerships and how people can protect themselves 03:33 Making medical decisions for your partner, the importance of getting a healthcare power of attorney, and what happens without that paperwork07:02 Melanie’s reasons for not getting married, how that decision aligns with her values, and why she considers it a money-saving move11:15 Things people forget to consider about when they’re considering moving in together, especially when it comes to finances or real estate investments  16:49 What Melanie has learned about protecting her finances from her partnerships, and how her boundaries have changed over the years18:33 What Melanie would say to an unmarried couple who is considering buying real estate together, and the potential risk of taking title as joint tenants23:52 The reframe Melanie wants listeners to consider when they’re thinking about legal and financial protections in long term partnershipsShow NotesTo get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/melanie-lockert-skipping-i-doFollow Hilary on:LinkedIn InstagramYouTube   Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.

273: Prenups, Postnups, and Talking About Finances in Marriage with Kara Foster

It’s often said that money is one of the most common sources of conflict in a marriage, and a leading cause of divorce. Today’s episode has me rethinking that positioning: What if money isn’t the one to blame, and the actual culprit is a lack of communication?You’ve likely heard me talk at length about the 7 Steps to Wealth, which is the framework I used to climb out of debt and build lasting wealth. The final step in that framework, Protect, is all about safeguarding your financial future. It’s one of the most important–and often neglected–steps. I did a deep-dive into the seventh step in episode 264, but today we’re taking a closer look at one crucial part of Protect: how to protect your wealth when you’re in a relationship. Specifically, we’re going to talk about prenups, postnups, and how they can help you preserve your wealth *and* your relationship.To help us unpack this topic, I’m joined by Kara Foster, an attorney from Foster Hsu, LLP. Kara and Lydia, her partner at the firm, are experienced in all aspects of California family law including divorce, legal separation, domestic violence, guardianship, stepparent adoption, and—what we’re focusing on today—prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. In this episode, we discuss:What a prenup covers and when to consider oneWhy prenups can be good for a relationshipHow to create a prenup and how much they costBut my biggest takeaway was this: What’s more important than any piece of paper you sign (or don’t) is that you have open, honest, and consistent conversations with your spouse about your finances. You should be on the same page about what’s going on, and the only way to do that is to talk about it.I learned so much from this conversation, and am grateful to Kara for lending her voice and expertise to the show. Now without further ado, let’s talk about what to do before you say “I do!”Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:03:44 What a prenup is, what it covers, and what can not be included in it 05:44 When should couples consider a prenup, and why businesses and real estate make asset division more complicated 08:05 How a prenup allows couples to keep assets separate during the marriage–and the pivotal thing a prenup “forces” you to do before getting married that will change your relationship (for the better!) in the long term12:49 How a postnup differs from a prenup, when it’s worth getting one, and the limits or enforceability of the agreement14:43 The process of creating a pre- or postnup, what can make the cost go up, and the importance of financial disclosure 18:30 Sticky situations a prenup can help couples avoid, the stigma of prenups, and why Kara doesn’t agree with the bad rap–even though she hears it a lot21:51 Why unmarried couples who purchase real estate should get a cohabitation agreement, what it means to be joint tenants, and the importance of taking title25:22 Why Kara didn’t get a prenup, the importance of ongoing communication about finances in marriage, and red flags to look out for Show NotesTo get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/kara-foster-finances-in-marriage Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.
