The onset of serious illness or injury can affect much more than a person’s health. Knowing what steps to take to get your financial and legal affairs in order is important, not only to you, but to your loved ones. Illness and injury can strike at any time and it may be too late to find out what your loved ones want, or where important financial and legal documents are kept. This four part series provides people with several steps to help plan in advance of serious illness or injury. Topics discussed include: advance directives, living will, durable power of attorney, end-of-life care, joint ownership, power of attorney, living trust, patient rights and responsibilities, important legal documents and the steps to take following the death of a loved one. The Financial and Legal Series is about being prepared, so you and your family can focus on what is most important in a time of crisis – each other.
