Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: It is not something we like to think about, but the serious injury or death of a loved one could happen at any time, to any of us. Because life is so unpredictable it is important to take action today to make sure your finances and last wishes are in order. There are many things to consider when putting together wills, trusts, living wills and other paper work that will guide your loved ones during a difficult time. This month's edition of MoneyWise offers information on terms that you will need to know and other actions that should be taken. The comfort of knowing that you have removed some of the burden of your loved ones preceding your death will lift a weight from your shoulders. I hope you find this information helpful.
