“Advisors, Take Fear Out of Long-Term Care Planning”

“Advisors, Take Fear Out of Long-Term Care Planning,” by Julie Pinkerton, U.S News & World Report

Quote:

“Long-term care conversations often follow a challenging path. Many financial advisors hesitate to bring up the topic because it involves discussing clients’ mortality, as well as potential physical and financial dependence. It is an emotional and often overwhelming subject. … Financial advisors miss an important opportunity to provide real value to clients when they fail to raise the topic of long-term care. A longevity map can help clients be better prepared to live gracefully and discover private moments with their family members that ease the aging transition.”

Longevity mapping seems like a reasonable idea to pursue.
