Planning For Incapacity, At Any Age

Senior client service manager Rebecca Pavese has a frank but sensitive conversation with host Amy Laburda about how to plan for times when you can't make your own decisions. Whether your incapacity is temporary or permanent, you may not be able to express your wishes for health care, handle your own financial obligations or decide who will take care of your children. While such scenarios are more common for older adults, Rebecca makes clear that it is just as critical for young adults to make decisions about what they want and who they want to carry out those wishes. Rebecca also covers a variety of legal and financial strategies individuals can use to empower their loved ones to offer help while knowing they are honoring the incapacitated person’s intentions.
