It's easy for us to put off unpleasant tasks in life, thinking we'll get them done someday. Unfortunately, that "someday" often never arrives. By taking action now, you can ensure that your loved ones will be better equipped to handle matters with ease and peace of mind in case of your incapacitation or demise. It's common for people to avoid these difficult topics altogether, leaving their family and friends to scramble for answers during the worst possible time. We do this with a lot of important topics, but I have put together what I call the Big SIX.

The Big SIX:

1. Advance Medical Directives

2. Medical Powers of Attorney

3. Disability Insurance

4. Wills

5. Burial or Cremation Instructions

6. Life Insurance

Secure your peace of mind by taking care of the Big SIX now. I regret not having these measures in place before my heart attack. State agencies regulate or oversee many of these issues.
