Financial planning often focuses on the future: retirement, investments, protection and passing wealth to the next generation. But there are other important questions that deserve consideration too.
What would you want your family to know if you were no longer able to tell them yourself?
Our Life Care Pack has been created to help you think about those questions and record your wishes in one place.
Some things are simply difficult to talk about.
Where would you like to be cared for? Are there particular wishes you would like your family to understand? Is there something you would like to say to the people you love? Who would you like to be invited to your funeral?
The Life Care Pack provides a private space to consider these questions and record the answers that are right for you.
You do not need to have everything decided. Its purpose is simply to help you think ahead and, when you feel ready, make your wishes known.
When families are dealing with illness or bereavement, even relatively simple decisions can become difficult.
Having a record of your preferences can provide useful guidance. It may answer questions your family would otherwise have to consider on your behalf and help them understand what you would have wanted.
It can also open conversations that might not otherwise happen.
At Hedderman Financial Solutions, our WealthCare approach looks beyond individual financial arrangements to the life they are there to support.
The Life Care Pack reflects that thinking. While pensions, investments, protection and succession all have an important role, planning can also mean making sure the people you care about have the information they may one day need.
Taking the time to record your wishes is a small step, but it can be a thoughtful one.
Because ultimately, wealth is not simply about what you have. It is about the people and purposes it supports.
