  • Online accounts document.
  • Life insurance needs analysis.
  • Much more!

Available as a printed booklet or fillable PDF.

My Life, My Plan – A Helper’s Guide

This resource provides advice for those who want to help a parent, spouse, relative or friend prepare his/her final wishes. The guide offers tips for holding end-of-life planning conversations – from the helper’s perspective. It also helps prepare members for the eventual loss of a loved one, sharing:

  • Steps to take after a death.
  • Tips for handling a loved one’s affairs.
  • Information about the grief process.
  • Links to helpful resources.

Available as a printed booklet or fillable PDF.
