During that entire time, estates often continue paying $1,500–$4,000 per month in ongoing costs — even when no one is living in the home.

It shows up as logistics long before it shows up as feelings. 2. Most people don’t “avoid planning” — they just don’t know where to start. 3. Clarity doesn’t make it easier, but it does make it less chaotic.
