Protecting Your Independence When There’s No Next Generation
Single seniors without children face a stark reality: without proper planning, strangers will control your money, your medical care, and your legacy. Courts will decide who inherits everything you’ve worked to build, and distant relatives you’ve never met could end up with your life’s work.
Three Critical Decisions Only You Can Make
Your Money: Who will manage your finances when age, illness, or dementia prevents you from handling them yourself? Without your decision, a court-appointed stranger will control your bank accounts, pay your bills, and make financial choices. You can designate a trusted person or hire professional money managers now—before it’s too late.
Your Health: Who will speak for you when you can’t communicate your medical wishes? Choose someone who knows your values and will fight for your preferences, whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, or professional care management company. Without your choice, courts decide who has power over your most personal medical decisions.
Your Legacy: Where should your money, home, investments, and treasured possessions go after you’re gone? Friends, family, or favorite charities? Without formal legal steps, the state distributes everything according to their rules—not your heart—and unnecessary taxes may consume what you’ve saved.
The Cost of Waiting
Every day you delay puts your independence at risk. Court proceedings are expensive, time-consuming, and strip away your personal choices. Professional legal guidance ensures your wishes are legally protected and your independence secured.
