Our lives are constantly changing, which often means our property and valuables and how we feel those properties and valuables should be distributed is subject to change.
At Peacefully, we know that end-of-life planning is an ongoing journey. As you finalize your plans for yourself or a loved one, set reminders to revisit these decisions regularly. This practice ensures that your choices align with your evolving priorities and values.
Annual Reviews and Life Changes
By reviewing your end-of-life plan at least once a year, you can catch details that need to be updated. This reflection helps you adapt to changes in your circumstances or perspective. Also, revisit your plans after significant life events—like marriage, the birth of a child or grandchild, major health diagnoses, or shifts in financial status. These moments can significantly influence your wishes and the legacy you want to leave.
Setting a Reminder
Make this process easier by scheduling a reminder for one year from now. Here are a few effective methods:
- Digital Alerts: Use your smartphone to set an alert
- Online Calendars: Utilize platforms like Google Calendar to create a recurring event.
- Analog Methods: If you prefer traditional methods, jot it down in your planner or calendar.
- Allow Peacefully to remind you when you create a end-of-life plan here
Choose whichever method works best for you. By keeping your pre-planning checklist updated, you ensure that your preferences reflect in everything from your will to your advance directive to your lasting legacy.
