Preface

This straightforward, easy-to-use guidebook is designed to help you prepare for many of life's overwhelming situations. By providing the information needed to address these issues in advance, we hope to demystify many of the challenges all of us must face.

The guidebook covers issues of life and death, such as:

your last will and testament;
advance medical directives;
power of attorney;
buying and selling real estate;
creating a sound financial plan for yourself and loved ones;
long-term health care and its skyrocketing costs;
how to prepare for loss of income or job;
making funeral arrangements in advance;
choosing a financial planner; and;
choosing an attorney

Although these situations are universal, the individual circumstances are unique. Therefore, this guidebook does not provide specific recommendations, but offers generalized information that is both meaningful and relevant. The advice and support of a qualified professional is strongly advised.

As much as the writers of this guidebook have endeavored to provide the reader with the most up to date, accurate, and current information available at the time of printing, the reader must realize that local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations are constantly changing. Therefore, this publication should in no way be considered a substitute for complete legal or other professional advice consistent with the use or field of concern.
