Maggie Tinsley joins us to talk about My Living Voice, which is a secure, online platform that guides you through advance care planning. It gives users the opportunity to name their healthcare proxy, to clarify their treatment preferences, and helps them understand the various options and terminologies. After you name your healthcare proxy and treatment preferences, it allows you to make it a legal advance care directive in the state in which you reside. This document can then be shared with your loved ones or your medical team. My Living Voice takes all of the guesswork out of this process. You can even select which states you'd like it to be valid in.Key Takeaways:Some states require a notary for an advance directive to be validIn some states, the witness cannot be the person named as your healthcare proxyMy Living Voices will take you through the process step by step (including filling you in on the state by state information/differences as mentioned above)Your gut reaction might be to designate your spouse or someone close to you as your healthcare proxy. It's important to have a conversation with them to ensure they would be able to make tough decisions, despite being emotionally involved. It's also important to ensure they would honor your wishes.This can be personalized completely, down to what music you want to be played, how warm you like it to be, who you DON'T want present, etc.To access the resources discussed by Maggie today, please visit:MyLivingVoice.comVitalDecisions.net To purchase the Emergency Info File course, please visit:https://www.gotittogethernow.com/eif If you are interested in being a guest, with a story to tell, go to the website and complete the Storyteller Application. at https://legacytherapypodcast.com/getinterviewed If you are a service professional and would like to be a guest, please complete the Industry Professional Application at https://legacytherapypodcast.com/getinterviewed

In this episode, Mike Lyon discusses how important it is to think ahead. To put pieces into place so you don't have to feel like you're making decisions with a gun to your head later on. He opens our minds to another option we had not yet explored on the show: equity sharing.Mike talks about his work with homeowners investing in their properties to leverage a portion of that equity.When you buy a home and get the money through a lender, you essentially have a partner in the ownership of that property and you're expected to make monthly payments.Equity sharing is similar, but instead of having a lender as the partner any making monthly payments to them, the equity share investor is hoping to share a portion of the appreciation of that property in the next 30 years.Short term scenario: someone is looking to refinance their home. But they're running into the hurdle of having a lot of debt (student loans, car loans, etc.). The loan officer turns them down, but refers them to someone like Mike. He provides a point agreement that pays off all of that debt, their credit score has gone up dramatically,  at this point they are able to do the refinance, they get a lower rate and pay off the equity share. Key takeaways:There's never a bad time to become educated about what's available to you, even in times of uncertainty.Especially if you feel uncertain, open up your mind to all of the opportunities available to you. To purchase the Emergency Info File course, please visit:https://www.gotittogethernow.com/pickyourplanIf you are a service professional and would like to be a guest, please complete the Industry Professional Application at https://legacytherapypodcast.com/getinterviewed Mike's contact information:mlyon@point.com925-548-5157www.point.com

The best time to have insurance is before you need it so that when you do need it, it's already in place. At 4:24, Lisa goes in-depth about options you might have if you bought a term policy that you would be interested in selling. Investor groups are willing to pay cash today to buy the policy from you, they take over full responsibility including the monthly premium payments, and they become the beneficiary of the policy. This is an investment for them, so they aren't looking to buy a term policy that will end. BUT most term policies have a conversion option which will turn them into a permanent policy which is exactly what these investors go after. Organizing your insurance policies will be one of several topics covered in the upcoming Got It Together Now course, which will guide you toward leaving a stress-free legacy for your loved ones in the event something happened to you. To purchase the Emergency Info File course, please visit:https://www.gotittogethernow.com/eifIf you are interested in being a guest, with a story to tell, go to the website and complete the Storyteller Application. at https://legacytherapypodcast.com/get-interviewed?rf=false If you are a service professional and would like to be a guest, please complete the Industry Professional Application at https://legacytherapypodcast.com/get-interviewed?rf=false If you are interested in contacting Lisa Rehburg or learning more about her work, please call, email, or visit her website:Phone: 714-349-7981Email: lrehburg@aol.comWebsite: www.rehburglifesettlements.com
