"Finishing Strong: An Estate Planning Journey delves into the crucial importance of comprehensive estate planning and addresses the prevalent issue of unpreparedness among individuals. The authors, Ronald ""Skip"" Skolnik and Elizabeth ""Libby"" Skolnik Budweg, stress that it is the responsibility of every person to take charge of their estate planning, particularly when it comes to mitigating potential challenges.

The book highlights two significant problems that hinder effective estate planning. First, many individuals fail to recognize the necessity of a comprehensive plan, often resulting in unforeseen financial burdens such as nursing home costs or probate court proceedings. Second, people often struggle to know where to begin due to a lack of specialized knowledge and guidance from professionals.

To tackle these issues, the book offers insights into various aspects of estate planning, including legal documents, financial positioning, taxes, nursing home expenses, and asset distribution. It emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach that brings together expertise from various experts such as attorneys, accountants, financial planners, insurance professionals, nursing home specialists, and funeral directors.

Additionally, the book acknowledges the demographic shift in the United States with an increasing aging population and emphasizes the importance of preparing for the associated costs. It aims to empower readers with the knowledge to safeguard their assets and effectively address the challenges they may face.

Ultimately, Finishing Strong: An Estate Planning Journey emphasizes that estate planning is both an art and a science. It requires careful consideration of legal and financial requirements, and all of them must work together. It encourages readers to envision their desired outcomes and take comprehensive action to protect their families and leave a lasting legacy."
