SOLUTIONS

Preparing emotionally and financially for a loved one suffering from a terminal illness is heart wrenching. While we cannot lessen your loss, we can help you better understand the financial responsibilities you may encounter along the way...


Disability insurance
So much in life depends upon good health. But what happens if you have a terminal illness and are no longer able to work? Disability insurance can protect your family and keep dreams for the future on track. If you do not own a private policy through Extraco, find out if your employer has provided disability insurance for you, or if you qualify for social security benefits. This may be a lifesaver for you and your loved ones. Understand your options by talking with an Extraco Relationship Manager today!

A Living Trust
If you become seriously ill, you may no longer be able to manage your own financial affairs. Therefore, designating a co-trustee while you're still able will enable your family to continue in the lifestyle they are accustomed to living. You manage the trust assets, and when you become too ill, a co-trustee will take over management of the trust according to your wishes. There's peace of mind in knowing that you can continue to take care of family and loved ones after you no longer can physically.

Mortgage
Your mortgage is possibly the single most important bill to maintain during this short downturn in your life. Because it is probably your largest bill, too, you'll need to plan your new budget accordingly. First, contact your mortgage provider and let them know of your sudden change in income. Find out your options to prepare for your loved ones' future.

College Education
Difficult matters sometimes call for difficult solutions. If the illness of you or your loved one has taken your life savings, know that there are still options available for a college education. Many schools have grants available for families such as yours. The Armed Services and National Guard have college education programs as well. Last, personal or home equity loans may also be beneficial.
