Our discussions of estate planning often deal with topics that are relevant to those with spouses or children, but single individuals can benefit from estate plans too. In fact, without trusted children or a spouse involved, an estate plan might be the only thing looking out for your best interests in final years.
Veterans benefits might play a role in late-life care planning
With the recent passing of Veteran's Day, many people honored veterans young and old through posts on social media, time spent with loved ones and attendance at local events. The day reminds us that veterans provided service to this country in a number of ways, and the country returns that service in part through benefits programs for veterans. When planning for care in late life, vets and their families should keep those benefits in mind.
