Learn how the “new” reverse mortgage may help your clients age 62 and older to effectively leverage an important asset: Home equity.

Final Roadmap is a secure, comprehensive online vault, guide and toolkit for all end of life issues. It encourages people to consider, document and communicate™ instructions and wishes. Final Roadmap works as a web-based toolkit, is secure, discreet and amazingly user friendly. The concept is to allow end of life to be approached privately, simply and with total security. A person buys Final Roadmap once and keeps it forever, changing it as much and often as he or she desires and communicating instructions securely with family, loved ones, advisors and providers.

Recently a report came out by The Institute of Medicine that says “A lack of an end of life plan, created well in advance, typically leads to prolonged hospitalization, soaring medical bills and unnecessary pain and suffering for everyone.”

Final Roadmap helps prevent emotional and financial hardship for loved ones in stressful times. The focus is on those decisions which can be anticipated and cause the most unnecessary pain and waste. A few hours of preparation can save loved ones a lifetime of bitter feelings and remorse.
