In this episode of Spotlight on Arizona, hosted by Mark Durkin, General Manager of KKNT, we shine a light on an important resource for Arizona families navigating major life transitions — the book Solving Life’s Next Chapter by Lydia Wietsma.

Written by Lydia Wietsma, Certified Probate and Senior Real Estate Specialist and host of Solving Life’s Next Chapter, the book helps families understand what happens when a loved one passes away, when a home is involved in probate, or when unexpected life changes require difficult decisions.

Inside the book, Lydia breaks down complex topics like probate, trusts, beneficiary deeds, and estate-related real estate in a clear, easy-to-understand way. She also shares real-life stories from working with families right here in Arizona, offering practical guidance, compassion, and clarity during overwhelming moments.

Whether you’re planning ahead, helping aging parents, or facing a sudden life event, Solving Life’s Next Chapter provides the knowledge and confidence families need to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

The book is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon, and it reflects the same educational, straightforward conversations Lydia brings to the airwaves each week.
