Remove the stress arising from living overseas by planning in advance; and if your parents are over 65 years of age, it's time to start planning now!

While 65 is ‘young’ these days, a series of sudden unfortunate events, say commencing with a parent’s fall, can see you weighing up whether to jump on a plane. It needn’t be this way.
Four tips to planning
(1) |
Start speaking with your parents about what support they may need to remain in their own home.
|
(2) |
Understand your parents' financial position.
|
(3) |
Be in a position where you can make decisions on behalf of your parents should they lose capacity.
|
(4) |
Arrange on-the-ground support.
