Be Prepared for Life Changes | |
You've probably made arrangements for handling financial decisions, in case your mental or physical health declines. Most likely, you've chosen members of your family as your support network. Have you thought about who will be responsible for what? Who is your health care proxy? Who will have power of attorney?
 At this time of year, as you gather together for the Holidays, why not have a discussion about these matters with your family? You'll have everyone together, which can streamline the conversation and ensure that everyone knows their role and the roles of others. It might not be festive conversation, but everyone will be glad that they know their part.
In addition to talking with your family, as we start a new year, you should meet with your Financial Advisor to review your plans. Some things that you need to think about and discuss with your Financial Advisor are:
- Stipulating how your assets are managed
- Long-Term Care arrangements
- Safeguarding your privacy
- Reducing Taxes
- Enabling your loved ones to avoid probate proceedings
At The Gaudreau Group, our Financial Services Department can help. Contact us today.
