Looking ahead to retirement is a common goal for many people who are anticipating being able to retire at age 65 or shortly thereafter. New studies indicate that it is more important than ever to plan ahead for your retirement because of the potential challenges that you may face.

Many people have clear goals for their retirement but don’t think carefully about how this might affect their marriage as well as their estate planning process. A couple suddenly spending more time together may be presented with a reality that they weren’t prepared for. In fact, a new study completed by Fidelity Investments found that one out of every three couples were not on the same page when asked to describe their goal lifestyle in retirement.

Sharing visions of retirement with loved ones well in advance can help to accomplish your retirement, estate planning and other goals. The support of an experienced attorney can go a long way towards helping you establish the estate plan that you need to look forward into an exciting and properly planned for future.

Consulting with an experienced estate planning lawyer can also help to ease a lot of the fears about retirement and how this may shift your existing relationship with family members, including your spouse.
