Planning ahead is important for everyone, but it becomes especially critical for individuals who don’t have nearby family members to step in if help is needed. This article walks through the key documents and decisions that single adults — and even couples without close relatives — should have in place to protect their wishes and their well-being.
It highlights the importance of naming trusted people to handle financial and medical decisions, building backups into your plan, and thinking through details that are easy to overlook, like who will care for pets or how state estate taxes might apply.
