With searches of planets around evolved pulsating B sub-dwarfs, red giant stars, and white dwarfs underway, it is paramount to advance theoretical research in how stellar evolution affects the architecture of planetary systems. This will not only maximize the discovery potential of said searches, but also aid in the interpretation and understanding of planet formation in a broader context. To acquire a full picture of the planet´s survival process we compute the evolution of the planet´s orbit coupled with the evolution of the star from the main sequence all the way to the white dwarf domain. We explore the range of planetary masses that might survive a common envelope stage during the giant phases of the star and, finally, we investigate how the presence of a planet might influence the evolution of the star itself.
