Insurance policies (life, long term care, auto, home), medical files (who see what doctor, their meds) financial documents (checking, savings, CDs, safe deposit boxes, investments), legal (wills, living trust).

Edward Kennedy said quality care shouldn't depend on a person's financial resources.

Written by Paul Zane Pilzer, one of his recommendations is switching from your employer's group health insurance to a high deductible plan. It's cheaper for you than a group policy. And, you can then have a Health Savings Account (HSA). Unlike an IRA, contributions to an HSA are tax deductible, no matter what your earned income is. That's another good reason to consider moving your monies from an IRA to a Health Savings Account, according to the author.

HUD has come out with two interim rules which would impact the HECM program if finalized.In general terms, the first new rule for federally-insured reverse mortgages “extends the date for calculating the maximum claim amount in the HECM program from the date of the underwriter’s receipt of the appraisal report to the date of closing.
