Long-term care planning is a proactive approach to prepare for aging, health care needs, and potential disability. It helps protect assets and ensures your care preferences are honored.
You can start planning at any age. Beginning earlier gives more options and flexibility to adjust as life changes.

Common documents include a durable power of attorney, advance directive, will or trust, and beneficiary designations. Your attorney will tailor a package for your situation.
The timeline varies, but many plans can be drafted and ready for use within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on complexity and cooperation between parties.
