Have you taken the necessary steps to secure your legal and financial future? 

Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day, a reminder to prioritize advance care planning! As we age, it’s vital to have legal documents like a Power of Attorney, a Healthcare Proxy, and a Will in place, ensuring your wishes are respected. This planning is especially crucial for those concerned about cognitive decline or facing a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Use this checklist to ensure health care and financial arrangements are in place before a serious illness or a health care crisis.

• Start discussions early with your loved one while everyone can still help make decisions.
• Create documents that communicate health care, financial management, and end-of-life wishes for yourself and the people you care for, with legal advice as needed.
• Review plans regularly, and update documents as circumstances change.
• Put important papers in one place. Make sure a trusted family member or friend knows the location and any instructions.
• Make copies of health care directives in all medical files, including information on every doctor seen.
• Permit in advance for a doctor or lawyer to talk directly with a caregiver as needed.
• Reduce anxiety about funeral and burial arrangements by planning.
