Before you embark on that tremendous adventure of yours, there are five absolutely crucial issues you must address to safeguard yourself and your loved ones.
First off, do you have a strong, rock-solid estate plan? Has it been reviewed by the best? An estate plan is a set of tremendous legal documents that lay out your wishes for your care, your dependents’ care, and how your money and property should be handled. Tremendous, really!
Now, you might have a last will and testament as the foundation of your estate plan. It lets you appoint someone you trust to take care of your affairs and distribute your assets as you desire. Or maybe, you’re more sophisticated and have a revocable living trust, an entity that owns your stuff and takes care of it without any nasty probate process involved. It’s like magic!
But hey, don’t forget to review those documents regularly. Things change, believe me, they do. And you want everything to be just perfect, don’t you?
Now, let’s talk finances. Can someone handle your financial matters when you’re off globe-trotting? You need a durable financial power of attorney, and it’s got to be someone you absolutely trust.
Next up, health matters. Even the healthiest person on Earth can run into trouble, especially while traveling the world like a jet-setter. So, choose a strong, capable decision-maker to handle your medical decisions. You need medical power of attorney to ensure they’ve got the power to take charge when you can’t. 
Oh, and speaking of insurance, you better make sure you’re covered! Health insurance, travel insurance, life insurance–get it all! You never know when you might need a backup plan.
And let’s not forget the little ones! If you have kids, you gotta take care of them too, even on your vacation. Make sure they have the proper documentation for travel and designate someone you trust to take care of them if you’re not around. We don’t want any problems with customs, do we?
So, folks, as you prepare to take off on your incredible journey, don’t forget to sort out these important issues. If you need some expert help, give us a call, and we’ll make sure everything’s tremendous before you go.
Bon voyage!
