It’s wise to review your plan after major life events such as marriage, birth, or relocation. Periodic checks help keep documents accurate and aligned with goals.
A durable power of attorney should be someone you trust to handle finances if you are unable to. Common choices include a spouse, adult child, or trusted adviser.
If you become incapacitated, your healthcare directive and power of attorney work together to ensure decisions are made by someone you trust. Your plan can reduce stress for family members.
