Final Affairs Assistance

Most of us know we should get our affairs in order, and most of us put it off. The forms feel cold, the questions feel heavy, and it is hard to know where to start. I sit down with you, one topic at a time, and help you turn good intentions into finished documents.

This is calm, unhurried work. By the end, you will know your wishes are written down, your papers are in one place, and the people you trust know exactly where to find them.

How I can help

• Healthcare forms — gathering and completing advance healthcare directives, living wills, and HIPAA releases so your care wishes are clear.
• Powers of attorney — organizing durable powers of attorney for healthcare and for finances, and explaining what each one does and does not do.
• Final wishes — writing down how you want your service to go, from music and readings to burial or cremation preferences.
• Preneed policies — walking through the pros and cons of prepaying funeral arrangements, so you can decide with clear eyes.
• Letters to loved ones — helping you write letters, messages, or an ethical will to be opened after you are gone.
• One organized binder — assembling account lists, key contacts, passwords, insurance and pension details, and document locations in a single place.
• Family conversations — helping you share your plans with loved ones so no one is left guessing.
