What’s Your Next Era? Planning Your Star Legacy

Taylor Swift has just announced her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, and the internet is buzzing about her next era. The truth is, we all have eras and chapters in our lives that deserve intention, care, and a little bit of star power. Whether you’re just starting out or looking back on decades well-lived, every stage of life is an opportunity to take center stage in your own story.

At Anderson Elder Law, we believe your next era should be your best and that means planning ahead. Here’s why it matters in every state and at every stage of life. Young Adulthood (18–30) – The Opening Act

• Why it matters: Once you turn 18, your parents can no longer make medical or financial decisions for you without legal authority.

• Key documents: Healthcare Power of Attorney, Financial Power of Attorney, HIPAA authorization.

• Benefit: Ensures your chosen person can step in if you’re injured, ill, or traveling.

Our Young Adult Power of Attorney Package makes sure you have your “Fearless” backup in place so if life throws you a curveball, your chosen person can “Step Into the Moment” and help when you need it most.

Mid-Life (30–50) – The Breakthrough Tour

• Why it matters: Careers grow, families form, assets accumulate and so do responsibilities.

• Key documents: Will, updated Powers of Attorney, beneficiary designations.

• Benefit: Protects your children and secures your assets if something unexpected happens.

Pre-Retirement (50–65) – The Legacy Album

• Why it matters: You’re building the wealth and life you’ve worked for, and it’s time to safeguard it.

• Key documents: Comprehensive estate plan, long-term care planning, updated healthcare directives.

• Benefit: Ensures smooth asset transfer and protects against the high costs of care.

Retirement & Beyond (65+) – The Encore

• Why it matters: Healthcare, long-term care, and legacy wishes come to the forefront.

• Key documents: Updated estate plan, Medicaid or VA benefit planning (if applicable), advance directives.

• Benefit: Keeps you in control of your care, protects your estate, and preserves your wishes for your loved ones.

 Your life’s next era deserves a standing ovation.

Let’s make sure you have the VIP pass to your own show, your Star Legacy. Whether you’re setting the stage or taking your final bow, intentional planning is the ultimate headliner.
