Synopsis:

Who will speak for you if you can no longer speak for yourself? The Blueprint to Age Your Way may one day serve as your voice. A repository of your unique legacy, it enables your advocate to step in and assist, equipped with an unambiguous plan built on your documented information and personal wishes. Its structured format provides the pages to record vital information and document wishes whether you’re looking ahead to your own future planning or scrambling to assist an elderly relative in crisis. With the blueprint as your guide, your personal plan will leave no question about your unique wishes for both living and dying; more than that, your plan will include legal, medical, and financial information that will be essential to executing your strategy. When shared, your blueprint will provide a gift to your family, saving them from the agony of choosing for you while they debate over who can better read your mind. Documentation is crucial, since with aging or injury, there is a chance you won’t be able to verbally communicate your wishes or be actively involved with decision-making. If that time comes, what’s in your blueprint will serve as your voice. Cherish your Blueprint, a gift for both you and for your family. Control—it’s doable, and the alternative is unthinkable.
