The Thinking Ahead Roadmap

This new tool encourages folks to select a financial advocate to help when the person needs assistance in managing their finances. The roadmap contains six steps:

  1. Choose a trusted financial advocate
  2. Organize your financial information
  3. Start a conversation with your financial advocate
  4. Explain your future money management needs and what you expect from your advocate
  5. Officially appoint your advocate as your agent under a financial power of attorney
  6. Shift money management to your advocate when the time is right
