While not legally binding in civil courts, the agreements empower loved ones together in a shared vision for the future. Documents may also be used by judges, doctors and other professionals to examine the wishes of a person when they can no longer speak for themselves.

Golden Agreements
Golden Agreements
Golden Agreements encompass the challenging conversations to navigate the complexities of aging with love and understanding. Difficult topics like driving, support roles for finances, healthcare, and living arrangements, as well as expectations for independence, are explored with details. These conversations foster open communication, build shared understanding, and establish expectations within the family unit. Family Agreements provide a framework for support, guidance, and peace of mind as life transitions occur. These conversations are easier when facilitated by someone outside the family.

Golden agreements can be initiated by the Golden Client or by the families or loved ones. In the event the Golden Client is unable to accurately and effectively commuicate their wishes, the same process will be used however the family members will be relied on for relevant details.
Sample topics we will cover: Where would you like to live if you can no longer care for yourself? Who would you like to pay your bills if you are unable for any reason? When would you be willing to authorize a family member to receive health information directly from a doctor?
