Tackling the end of life care expense dilemma

When is the last time you saw someone who had an auto accident pull out their wallet and pay cash for the property they damaged? How about surgery or going to the doctor? Do people pay cash for these things? Most likely, with each of these examples, folks use insurance to weather the financial burden. 

Fast forward to end of life care. People avoid thinking about it. Denial, lack of education or no people to help plan creates tricky situations. Yesterday, we met with someone who's sister's kids were scrambling to literally spend the funds from selling a house, so she could pay for the care she needed. 

Meanwhile other folks with means typically spend down accounts twice as fast as those that plan, zeroing out faster. They are doing the equivalent of driving without insurance, a truly cost prohibitive way to fund end of life care, leaving less of a legacy for their heirs, often the whole purpose of building that wealth in the first place! 

Some people use long term care. For others, the timing is off, or they dislike that approach. No worries. There are many ways to solve this, based on your overall picture. Some solutions involve legal documents, while others involve insurance--the kind that if you don't use, either you or your heirs get your money back, plus interest! Much better than car insurance where you pay and pay! 

With proper planning, scenarios like these can be avoided. Plans are in place, creating peace of mind, assurance, clarity.
