We do not often plan for the moment when roles begin to shift. When the people who once guided our decisions start relying on us to help manage theirs.

Caring for ageing parents is one of life’s most emotional and complex transitions. It brings difficult conversations, changing family dynamics, and important financial and legal decisions that many families only face when it is already too late.

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Chartered Wealth Solutions Financial Planning Specialist, James Carvalho, to explore what this transition really involves.

They unpack what a power of attorney means in South Africa, why it may not work the way many people expect, and what happens when a loved one is no longer able to make decisions for themselves.

This conversation goes beyond the legal detail. It highlights the emotional weight of role reversal, the importance of early conversations, and the practical steps families can take to prepare before a crisis arises.

If you have ageing parents, or want to ease the burden on your own family one day, this is a conversation worth listening to, and one worth having with your own family.
