Declining Health—Managing Your Financial Risks

In general, Canadians are living longer, healthier lives. With this longer lifespan comes an increased likelihood that you will, at some point, experience a decline in your cognitive or physical health that impacts your independence when it comes to financial decision making.

In order to protect your hard-earned wealth as you age, it’s important for you to plan ahead just in case you temporarily or permanently become unable to manage your financial affairs safely. This module will provide an overview of the documents you should have in place, and additional steps to take to reduce the risk to your wealth if your health declines.
