Now
that you have your budget and plans to become financially
self-reliant, there are a few more considerations to becoming legally
prepared. The following documents are recommended to protect yourself
and your loved ones should emergencies, injury or accident happen:
Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, Simple Will, and
Declaration of Homestead. These sometimes differ state to state so if
you have moved since you created these documents, or if you plan on
moving, you'll need to make sure they are acceptable in your new
state. You can either have an attorney prepare these for you or, if
your finances are very simple, you can search online for free
fill-in-the-blank versions to use. Make sure you include copies of
these documents in your emergency kit.
