Many people wish to arrange their affairs to live well in their later years and ensure that their end-of-life plans follow their wishes. Planning AHEAD is a class from UW-Madison Division of Extension, created to address most aspects of end-of-life planning. In 1-hour in-person classes, Extension Educators guide participants through examining heath care wishes, financial responsibilities, legal requirements and documentation, distribution of personal property, end-of-life decisions, dealing with grief, and the emotional ramifications of all the above. The program is designed both for those of all ages who want to prepare for their own passing or are in the process of losing a loved one and are dealing with the transition. This course features a planning workbook to help organize the tasks and documents associated with end-of-life decisions.
