70% of people over the age of 65 will need long term care services in their lifetime.
If your parents are under 75 and are relatively active and healthy, they may be eligible to purchase Long Term Care Insurance for themselves. Long term care insurance covers expenses for amazing home caregivers and nursing homes. It provides coverage associated with daily living activities such as eating, bathing, dressing, and other needs. It may also be used for chronic illness or injuries that require extended rehab.
Long term care insurance is something that both you AND your parents should have.
Are your parents worried about outliving their retirement savings?
Annuities can help them secure a tax deferred, guaranteed income as they age. And in the event of the death of a spouse, the surviving spouse can get access to the funds without delay.
When you die with only a basic estate plan, all your assets are frozen until your will goes through probate.
Your parents can avoid this by setting up a Living Trust. By placing their assets in a trust, your parents can still have full access to their assets, even if one of them passes away. By naming you as a trustee, after their deaths you will not have to deal with a very public probate process.
While you will need an estate attorney to create the trust for you, I will be able to help you and your parents figure out the best way to fund it.Planning for a post-retirement life is almost as complex, and expensive, as planning for college. The more you take control of now, and the better plan you have in place, the less you have to worry about as you and your parents age.
