Wherever you are on life’s journey, you need a Final Roadmap®

You’re here because you or your parents are getting older, your health is being challenged, or you realize that planning for the unexpected is essential to your peace of mind. Whatever the reason, we understand and want to help. The Final Roadmap® Toolkit includes tools and documents that encompass all the decisions you or your loved ones will need to make – including some that, regrettably, people don’t typically think about until it is too late! These include:

●Medical Care ●Legal and Financial ●Physical Death ●Visitation/Services/Remains
●Notifications ●Messages for Loved Ones

One of the most important features of Final Roadmap® is access to hundreds of questions that might arise when you or a loved one is unable to communicate.

According to Karen B. Hirschman, a research professor specializing in aging at the University of Pennsylvania, "90 to 95 percent of people think advance directives are a great idea.” However, only 30 to 35 percent of people have actually developed such directives, and the total may well be less. And neglecting to plan ahead can result in misunderstanding and confusion, leaving a painful and costly legacy to those you care about most.

Final Roadmap was created to make end of life planning easier, manageable and affordable. The Toolkit allows you to create, compile and safely store documents and directives – with the option to share the documents you select, with the individuals you choose, in the equivalent of an electronic vault. And for those who want their aging relatives to have peace of mind, Final Roadmap® provides a comforting ‘tour’ of those questions and wishes that may be on their minds but not yet expressed.

Final Roadmap® ensures that the last chapter of your life reflects your values and that you have communicated your wishes in your own words.
