Future planning

Planning ahead is important. It ensures that if we get to a point where we can no longer make our own decisions that our wishes about our health care and financial plans are clear. 

Not planning for the future can lead to added stress for family and carers, who may take over legal responsibility but be unsure of their loved ones wishes.
