Getting Your Affairs in Order
Making healthcare decisions for yourself or someone who is no longer able to do so can be overwhelming. That is why I recommend that my clients make decisions and arrangements while they can participate in legal and financial planning.
I have created a checklist to ensure that your healthcare and financial arrangements are in place before a serious illness or a healthcare crisis.
- START DISCUSSIONS EARLY with your family and friends.
- CREATE DOCUMENTS that communicate healthcare, financial management, and end of life wishes and instructions. Get the legal advice needed to do so.
- REVIEW PLANS REGULARLY, and update your documents as your circumstances change.
- ORGANIZE YOUR PAPERS IN ONE PLACE. Make sure a trusted family member or friend knows the location.
- MAKE COPIES OF healthcare directives for all the physicians you regularly see.
- REDUCE ANXIETY for yourself and your loved ones by making funeral and burial arrangements ahead.
