Karen Purze of Life in Motion Guide joins us to discuss a sensitive, but very relevant aspect of home organization - managing your legacy including vital information and end of life planning.
\\n\\nOur guest helps families make end of life plans and decisions so they can focus on what truly matters in the end - people not paperwork.
\\n\\nShe is creator of lifeinmotionguide.com. When Karen\\u2019s parents both got sick suddenly and simultaneously, she helped them make difficult choices about health, housing, finances, and everything else as they gradually lost their independence. She is on a mission to make it easier for others to get their personal information organized.
