Ladies, as you approach retirement, have you considered who will make decisions for you if you can't? Planning ahead isn’t just about distributing your assets—it's about making sure your wishes are honored during your lifetime. In today’s episode, Maria sits down with Rachel King, an experienced Attorney at Law, to discuss the critical components of a comprehensive estate plan and why it’s especially important for women to start early. Learn about the basic documents to prepare for the unexpected. We begin with the durable power of attorney, which lets you appoint an agent to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Rachel explains how a revocable living trust can streamline the transition of control over your assets without the need for court approval. We also discuss the importance of a Living Will and health care proxy, enabling you to outline your medical care preferences and appoint someone to make health decisions on your behalf if needed. For many women, planning for retirement means addressing unique challenges—living longer and often earning less than men over their lifetimes. This makes early and thorough estate planning even more critical. Don’t wait until it’s too late to start planning for your future. Join us for this insightful discussion and take the first step towards securing peace of mind. To connect with Rachel King or learn more about estate planning, visit her website www.thelawyerking.com
