THE LAVENDER PLAN
Have you communicated all of your end-of-life wishes
with your loved ones?
While it's common to have a will, trust, and estate plan, it's equally important to share your desires now.
The Lavender Plan can help you organize and share your priorities for living, managing challenges, and expressing end-of-life wishes with your loved ones, reducing the anxiety and frustration that often accompanies aging.
As your Lavender Plan project manager, I will work with you to create a comprehensive plan that includes sharing your priorities with your healthcare proxy and power of attorney for property, outlining your wishes for end-of-life care, and annotations. As a result, you can make living in the present more enjoyable and less stressful for those around you while providing important tools for your family, friends, and executors to ensure that your wishes are heard and respected.
Your Lavender Plan will consist of:
-
Letters for your family and friends to share your wishes for living, managing hiccups, and planning for how you plan to age gracefully.
-
A roadmap documenting the pieces you have in place for living your life.
-
A letter to your healthcare proxy giving details of your actual living wishes to your healthcare proxy.
-
A letter to your Power of Attorney for Agent (if you have one) providing your Agent priority instructions.
-
Distribution of desired communications.
-
Recommended worksheets in case of emergency for those who might need it.
[Please note that these items are meant to supplement a will or trust and provide additional context, clarity, and comfort now. They are not intended to override or replace any legal documents.]
