Multigenerational Families
Now that you have a family, it is important to put a plan in place in the event of a crisis. Husbands and wives often share (divide & conquer) responsibilities but forget to share key information, leaving the other spouse unable to take over tasks in an emergency. Having a joint (documented) plan empowers both parents to manage everything.

As parents and grandparents get older, it becomes increasingly important to have conversations surrounding their estates, medical directives, and end-of-life planning. Having open conversations now can be a blessing, rather than after an illness or death when stress and grieving overwhelms you.
Special Needs Families

Special Needs Planning, especially for a single parent, is imperative. Having a plan for your child's physical and financial care that spans 50+ years requires additional legal and family support. Often forgotten is the need to apply for Legal Guardianship for 18+ year olds who are legal adults but low functioning.

Whether it's an unexpected death or a severe illness, death will impact each and every family. Developing a plan now (when you have the time and space to make thoughtful decisions) can provide peace of mind for everyone involved.
Our Aging Heroes

Going Home To Jesus
Loving on, and caring for our elders is perhaps the most beautiful blessing. Understanding (and documenting) their life and wishes before cognitive decline creeps in allows us to give them a final gift.

Preparing for the inevitable allows us to build a bridge between here and heaven. Planning and addressing earthly concerns opens the door for God to provide us with peace on this earth, not just in heaven. This is the ultimate gift for you and your family.
Fireproofed Life Overview
(1) Acknowledge Life is Short and Precious
It's easier to avoid thinking about our own mortality and that of our family and friends until tragedy strikes or we lose someone. Coming to terms with mortality (regardless of how you get there) can be both liberating and empowering.
(2) Have a Plan
Whether you are saving towards a child's college fund or preparing for a hurricane, it is important to have a plan for major life events. Having a plan for someone's eventual passing is perhaps the most critical life event. The "Fireproofing Plan" will provide a prioritized checklist of items to be completed.
(3) Revisit and Reset Priorities
Once you and your family have developed a Fireproofing Plan, you can now revisit your life and your true priorities without the fear of being burned by unexpected life events.
(4) Your Best Life Starts Today
Fear and uncertainly often get in the way of living our best lives and finding true happiness. Fireproofing and Reprioritizing your life will change the lens that you look through with the truly important things coming into focus and the trivial fading away.
