Advance care planning is about understanding the decisions you may need to make when your life is nearing completion. It’s important to think through these choices early and to share your wishes with your loved ones and doctors.
An advance directive is a formal document that takes effect if you’re unable to communicate. It outlines your preferences for end-of-life care, reflecting your personal values. Often referred to as a living will, you can change it if your health condition or perspective changes.
Our Peace of Mind Planner is here to help you start this essential process. We believe in providing guidance with empathy, ensuring that you feel supported at every step as you make these significant choices. Take the first step towards planning with Peace of Mind.

You may not have all the answers today and that’s okay! The important thing is to start, below are a few questions to start thinking about:
Who will you designate to make decisions on your behalf?
