Take a moment to download a few of the publications that will provide some guidance on protecting your finances at USA.gov.
Of particular interest are the publications for Planning for Your Future that include how to be money smart and avoid financial exploitation, a guide to managing someone else’s money (I included a copy with my estate planning docs and shared it with the individual that would act as my agent if my husband and I were incapacitated), and a guide to long-term care insurance.
Learning about your finances and how to protect them is worth your time. I hope you find these helpful.
