Estate Planning

• There are alternatives to keeping your financial affairs going ranging from appointing a person to handle your affairs under a Power of Attorney, to transferring your assets to an entity such as corporation, to having a guardian appointed. See: Incapacitation: Providing In Case, Care Of Your Assets When You Can't.
• You can assure you get the medical care you wish by executing documents such as a Living Will. These documents are referred to as "Advance Directives." See: What Would I Want To Happen? and Advance Directives 101. It helps to talk with your family now to assure your wishes are enforced. See: How To Talk With Family About Your Wishes If You Become Incapacitated.
• If you have children, think through how your children will be cared for either temporarily or permanently. See: Children 101, Children: Care Of If Your Are Unable To. Also provide for emergency care in case of a problem while your children are in someone else's temporary care, such as a baby sitter. See: Emergency Medical Care For Children.
