DESCRIPTION:Connecting planetary systems at different stages of stellar ev
 olution helps\nus understand their formation\, evolution\, and fate\, and 
 provides us with\nexclusive and crucial insights about their dynamics and 
 chemistry.\nPost-main-sequence white dwarf and giant branch stars host pla
 netary systems\nthat include a variety of observed objects and phenomena\,
  such as planetary\ndebris discs\, disintegrating and embedded asteroids\,
  and photospheric metal\npollution. Here\, I provide a review of both our 
 current knowledge of these\nsystems and models which have been used to exp
 lain them. I also highlight\nthe transformative advances expected in upcom
 ing years with the current and\nnext generation of ground-based and space-
 based initiatives. Looming\norders-of-magnitude increases in available dat
 a must be accompanied by novel\ntheories and simulations in order to under
 stand the results from this\ninterdisciplinary and expanding research fiel
 d.\n
