The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Founder, Victoria L Collier, Encourages Readers To Schedule A Financial Assessment.

Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier informs readers about the need for long-term care assistance and encourages taking action to be prepared for the worst-case health scenario.

 

DECATUR, GA, February 23, 2020: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new article on her law firm’s website entitled “Right Now Is The Best Time For A Financial Assessment,in which Ms. Collier acknowledges how difficult it is to know how the future will unfold and how important it is to be in a position to be cared for well under any circumstances.

 

Victoria CollierCollier writes, “If you are nearing retirement age and have never had a financial assessment, the time is right to schedule one as soon as possible. If you’re in good health,” she adds, “you’ve probably been putting it off for years, and if you have a 401k or other retirement plan you may think you’re in great shape financially.” She points out, “On the other hand, if you’re not in the greatest of health and have not had a financial assessment, how can I say this? You simply cannot schedule one fast enough!”

 

“No one knows what the future holds,” Collier writes. She goes on to add, “Not a single person can anticipate a fall that might change their health status. No one can anticipate whether they will suddenly be diagnosed with dementia or early on-set Alzheimer’s. We simply have no idea how the future of our health will unfold.” She states, “Of course, most people do their best to stay as healthy and vibrant as possible. But, because we cannot see the future, we must do our best to be prepared for the worst possible scenario. The beauty of this is that many people are not faced with the worst possible scenario.”

 

Referencing the Boy Scout’s motto, Collier writes, “Back in 1910, Lord Baden-Powell wrote in the original Boy Scout Manual, Be Prepared. Since then it has been the scout motto. This motto can serve everyone throughout life.” According to Collier, “Being prepared means you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to “do your duty.” Every parent’s duty is to make certain they are not placing a burden on loved ones through lack of planning for end of life healthcare needs.”

 

Collier states, “When you are healthy it’s difficult to think about needing long-term care. However,” she adds, “in reality, one in every two people (50%) will need long-term care assistance.  This is when a financial assessment can help you understand exactly what long-term care can include and can educate you about the traditional ways people pay for long-term care along with some new options.”
