Taking the first step towards future planning is important.  And it's not quite as scary as you may think. 

The first step is to gather some basic information.  This is the final worksheet in this first step!  It's time to take a look at Financing My Future.  In the Financing My Future section, you will gather information about your financial accounts and financial power of attorney.  This 3-page worksheet will help you keep important information in one place.
 
You can go through the process online in an interactive and user friendly format.  Or, you can start by printing a paper copy.
