Legal & Financial.
Most of the legal infrastructure aging families need is buildable for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars — if it happens before a crisis. After a crisis, the same tools cost five to ten times more and may not work. This pillar covers what to put in place, when, and where state law changes the playbook.

Estate planning and probate
Wills, beneficiary designations, the probate-avoidance toolkit by state.
