	NOTE: Many companies, legal offices, and organizations offer legal forms by state to create living wills and designate power of attorney. Live Well Age Well does not endorse any specific website for this purpose. There are typically fees associated with using their products. These online tools are helpful and can be found using a search engine, such as Google, using keywords such as "living will","power of attorney", "forms", "sample form", and your state of residence.

	Caring Connections - Planning Ahead Planning ahead is about preparing for the future today. Communicating your end-of-life wishes to your loved ones, appointing a healthcare power of attorney, and addressing financial issues such as wills and paying for long-term care are just a few of the issues you can address today to plan ahead.
