End-of-life planning involves making decisions about the care and management of an individual’s health and affairs as they approach the end of life. This can include creating a living will, which outlines medical preferences, and appointing a healthcare proxy to make decisions on one’s behalf if they become unable to do so. Additionally, end-of-life planning often encompasses financial arrangements, such as drafting a will to distribute assets and designating beneficiaries for insurance policies. These preparations can help ensure that a person's wishes are respected and can ease the burden on family members during a difficult time.
