What is end-of-life planning?

End-of-life planning involves making important arrangements for the future. This includes things like deciding on healthcare preferences, keeping essential contacts and important papers organized, handling household matters, outlining funeral plans, managing your online presence, summarizing your finances, and leaving behind a legacy of your life's meaning and values.

Who should have an end-of-life plan?

People from all walks of life should have an end-of-life plan. Whether you're a young adult starting your career, a parent with a growing family, a retiree enjoying your golden years, or anyone in between, having a plan in place ensures your wishes are known and helps your family navigate the future with peace of mind.

Are there any benefits to an end-of-life plan?

Absolutely. It's the only way to ensure your wishes are known and documented in case you have a medical emergency or critical accident. And when you do pass away, your loved ones will have clarity and direction. This will minimalise confusion, guilt, conflict and stress for your loved ones in their time of grief.

When should a person start end-of-life planning?

It's best to start end-of-life planning as soon as possible, regardless of your age or health condition. Procrastination can lead to unnecessary stress, complications or conflict for your loved ones in the future.

What documents are essential for end-of-life planning?

Key documents include a will, power of attorney, healthcare directive, and any necessary trusts. These documents legally outline your wishes for medical treatment, asset distribution, and decision-making in case of incapacity.

How do I choose a healthcare proxy?

Select someone you trust implicitly, who understands your values, and who is willing to advocate for your medical decisions. It's crucial to have open and honest conversations with your chosen healthcare proxy about your preferences.

Can I make changes to my end-of-life plan in the future?

Absolutely. End-of-life plans should be flexible and adaptable as life changes. Regularly review and update your plans to ensure they align with your current wishes and circumstances.

What if I don't have many financial assets or possessions?

End-of-life planning is not just about finances. It encompasses medical treatment preferences if you are incapacitated, funeral arrangements, decisions regarding your pets and belongings, documenting your online digital life and leaving a meaningful legacy. Everyone can benefit from having a clear plan in place, regardless of their financial situation.
