There are many approaches to bringing up your finances with your adult children. My favorite two are as follows. First, you can involve them in your review with your planner. This doesn’t mean every review, but it should be often enough. They could even be copied on the follow-up email from your check-up. Quite honestly, I’d handle it like you would with their health. You may not need to know every last detail, but at a high level, it's important you understand where they stand. The second, less-intrusive way is to involve them in your estate and elder care plans. Let them know what you want to do and that you’ve made arrangements. Have them know who is responsible for what in regards to health and handling your estate. Also, this gives them a bird’s eye view of your financial landscape. It's less detailed and granular but gives them the bullet points of what they need to know for the both of you.
