Today, on National Financial Awareness Day, we encourage all our residents, families, and caregivers to reflect on the importance of financial planning, especially as we age. Financial health is key to ensuring peace of mind and quality care.
Here are a few tips you may not have considered recently:
– Plan for Digital Assets: Consider how digital assets, such as online accounts, social media profiles, and cryptocurrency, will be managed or transferred. Ensure that someone trusted has access to important digital information.– Update Estate Planning Documents: Regularly review and update estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations. Ensure that your wishes are clearly documented and that your financial plan reflects your current situation.
– Consider a Financial Power of Attorney: Designate a trusted individual as a financial power of attorney to manage financial matters if you become unable to do so yourself. This can help ensure that financial decisions are made in your best interest.
– Evaluate Housing Options: Assess whether your current housing situation is financially sustainable. Consider alternative options like downsizing or moving to a community that offers additional services and support if needed.
By being proactive, you can help ensure that financial planning and management are well-addressed as you navigate the later stages of life.
