"Oooohhhh, I'm telling.....she said the 'P' word!"

Many people cringe a bit when someone says a bad word, especially some of the four-letter variety.  (You know them, I won't repeat them.)  And there are some words where you don't even have to say the full word.  For example, the "F" word, the "C" word.  

For many, the "P" word is the worst of all!  I'll warn you now, I'm going to say it...

PLAN

If you have kids, you have to "plan" your day around their school schedule and after school activities.  If you work, perhaps you have to "plan" your route and daily activities.  You have to have a contingency "plan" when something doesn't go right.  And not everyone is a planner!  

But when it comes to fun things, we LIKE to plan!  We make travel plans.  We like to plan parties and events.  And there are plans when building or renovating a house.  

We talk about "planning for the future" with investments, estate plans, etc.  Do you have your plan in place?  Do you know where your birth certificate, social security card, will, living will, power of attorney, health care surrogate and power of attorney documents are?  Do the older adults in your life know where theirs are?

You may not have a full-blown, detail-by-detail plan in place for your future.  And we never know when we are going to get "the call".  But it's probably a good idea to have your important documents in a safe place so that when the time comes, someone will be able take care of things.

If you need help with preparing those important documents, contact us for recommendations.
