An unexpected prognosis cannot only be shattering to a person’s life, but it should be a spark to get things moving that may have been put off for years: estate planning being one of them. At least having a strategy in mind for when they pass or become incapacitated is one area that affords them some peace of mind.
Mr. Price said: “Apart from working with loved ones to get the support they deserve that a condition requires, is to think about the long-term impacts that could seriously affect their lives.”
This may relate to calling in an estate planning attorney to plot a course that not only looks at the time when they become incapacitated but also after their passing.
If they already have an estate plan, it might be a case of reviewing the finer details of any wills, trusts and powers of attorney relating to health and financial areas to ensure they are effective from the get-go.
Mr. Price added: “Telling people where those documents are will ensure they’re accessible when needed. Updating an estate plan will also ensure a loved one has all the legal tools to protect them and be able, if they are a named executor, to carry out their loved one’s wishes if the time ever arises.”
One of the most challenging conversations will be around finances and ensuring that loved ones can locate accounts, who currently has access to them and what to do when the point comes to deal with them.
Mr. Price said that if the prognosis is as bad as it is, reality will have to kick in quickly. “That may well mean considering the long-term level of care one will need.’’
“Looking at the different types of ongoing care and determining the provider will be one that might be taken in conjunction with your doctor or physician. Grasping that difficult matter soon ensures that critical decision-making is made now rather than later.”
He advised that a team approach by loved ones can help tackle and assess the cost of care in the short and long term. He added: “Consulting with an estate planning attorney can help the couple create tools to protect assets, such as property and investments, from the ongoing cost of care, or at least minimize their financial risk.”
