Estate planning...
Your last will and testament shouldn't be the last word on your end-of-life wishes, Kelli Grant reports on cnbc.com.
"We all prepare ahead of time for what we know is coming up," Amy Florian, chief executive of Corgenius, told advisors in Chicago last week, Grant reports.
But on end-of-life matters, Florian said, we're notoriously remiss. A 2014 American Journal of Preventive Medicine study found that 74 percent of adults have no health care proxy, living will or advance directives; only 42 percent have a will, according to a survey earlier this year from Caring.com, Grant wrote.
"Anyone remember the death rate in the United States?" Florian asked. "It's like one per person. Nobody is getting out of here alive. We never know when death will happen, just that it will."
Experts recommend everyone develop a well thought out estate plan.
Here are 11 planning documents -- some that might surprise you -- to consider implementing, in addition to a will: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/15/12-financial-planning-documents-to-handle-health-end-of-life-care.html
