As Retirement Insider editor Bob Irish says, the time to get your end-of-life plans in order is now—long before you think the end is nigh. You may not have the energy or ability later. The good news is it really isn’t that hard. In this month’s Retirement Insider, Bob shows you just how easy it can be.

There are basically three components to one’s end-of-life strategy. The first takes care of you as you are dying. The second takes care of your estate after you’re gone. The third makes it easier for your heirs to tie up loose ends.

Each can be dealt with in its own, single document. Bob shares the first important document with all Palm Beach Daily readers below:

Document #1: What You Want to Happen If You Become Incapacitated

The first document you need is a living will (aka advance directive). It answers the “When to pull the plug?” question for you if you can’t speak for yourself. It specifies how far you want to go with artificial life support. And it takes your loved ones off the hook for making those decisions.

Should your kidneys fail, do you want dialysis? For how long? If your heart stops, do you want CPR? Is a feeding tube okay? How about a ventilator?

A living will ensures you’ll get only the care and treatment you want. And nothing you don’t.

It’s super-easy to create one. You can download the form from RocketLawyer.com, or from LegalZoom.com. And it’s not expensive. LegalZoom charges $39 for the basic living will. It might take 15 minutes to fill out. Simply print it and sign it.

Most states require two witnesses for your signature. And according to FindLaw.com, a living will in Arizona, Nebraska, South Carolina, or West Virginia also requires notarization.

Once that’s done, you’ll want to share this document with your primary care physician and any others on your medical team. And, of course, with your family and patient advocate.
