Clarity Before the Crisis: Navigating Long-Term Care Planning and Family Conversations

A Complimentary Educational Workshop for Clarity Legal Group Clients & Guests

Presented by Clarity Legal Group and Northwestern Mutual

The Best Time to Plan for Long-Term Care Is Before You Need It.

A serious health event or the gradual onset of cognitive decline shouldn’t force your family into crisis mode. When extended care needs arise without an intentional plan in place, adult children are often left guessing, assets face unnecessary exposure, and families encounter the emotional distress of court-supervised guardianship or delayed care.

A complete long-term care strategy protects two things: your life savings and your personal voice.

Join Clarity Legal Group and specialized extended care advisors from Northwestern Mutual for an exclusive, client-focused workshop designed to help you build a proactive roadmap, align your legal and financial tools, and lead productive, stress-free conversations with your loved ones.

What You Will Learn

  • Long-Term Care Financial Strategies: Practical options for funding extended care—including modern long-term care insurance strategies, asset-based solutions, and preserving retirement assets without completely spending down family wealth.
  • Bridging the Family Communication Gap: Step-by-step guidance on how to speak openly with your spouse, adult children, or designated agents so they understand your wishes, roles, and instructions before an emergency strikes.
  • Resolving Long-Term Care Policy Challenges: What you need to know about navigating long-term care insurance claims and addressing common claim denial hurdles.
