There are also two women for every man in the 85-and-older population, according to the 2016 Census. The gap widens for those over age 100, with women outnumbering men by nearly five-to-one.<\/p>\n<p>As the population ages, an important consideration is the cost of health care, which tends to increase as seniors get older. Costs include medical expenses not covered by the publicly funded health care system, such as medical equipment, certain medications, in-home care and long-term-care facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned by RBC Wealth Management, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) undertook a study of 1,051 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), including 259 respondents in Canada, from March to May, 2018. <a href=\"\/insights\/the-new-face-of-wealth-and-legacy-how-women-are-redefining-wealth-giving-and-legacy-planning\">The new face of wealth and legacy<\/a>&nbsp;survey explores how the meanings of legacy and wealth are being redefined across regions, genders and generations.<\/p>\n<p>According to EIU research,&nbsp;46 percent of Canadian respondents&nbsp;say their most important life goal is to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. Not surprisingly, that number increases to 66 percent for older women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHealth care expenses can have a significant impact on a person&#8217;s financial future,\u201d says Leanne Kaufman, head of RBC Royal Trust and president and CEO, Royal Trust Corporation of Canada and The Royal Trust Company.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics from the&nbsp;<span><a href=\"https:\/\/womensbrainhealth.org\/better-thinking\/university-of-toronto-researcher-receives-the-wilfred-and-joyce-posluns-chair-in-womens-brain-health-and-aging\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-ext\" rel=\"noopener\">Women&#8217;s Brain Health Initiative<\/a><\/span>&nbsp;show women suffer from dementia twice as frequently as men and approximately 70 percent of new Alzheimer&#8217;s patients are women. There\u2019s also a higher risk of women being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.<\/p>\n<p>Kaufman helps to educate women across Canada about the importance of having a wealth management plan which takes into consideration both rising health care costs and a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen need to start by thinking about their wants, as well as their needs, as they get older,\u201d says Kaufman. \u201cYou may want to give money away to kids and grandkids or to philanthropic causes during your lifetime, to enjoy the benefits of giving, but bear in mind the costs you may have to pay, which can increase over time. In other words, don&#8217;t spend it all too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to manage your wealth and health<\/h2>\n<p>According to The EIU survey, 87 percent of women say they are in control of their legacy and 80 percent believe it is important to lay a foundation to define it for their family and future generations. About 80 percent also aim to align their wealth plans with their legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Kaufman recommends women start by ensuring they have a comprehensive wealth management plan. If the woman is a widower or divorced, her plan will likely need to be updated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need a well-thought-out plan that includes a financial plan, as well as a Will and power of attorney,\u201d says Kaufman. \u201cA power of attorney is particularly important because it affects you while you&#8217;re still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research shows not enough Canadians have a comprehensive wealth management plan which includes a Will and power of attorney. RBC Wealth Management&#8217;s 2017&nbsp;<span><a href=\"\/wealth-transfer\">Wealth Transfer Report<\/a><\/span>&nbsp;shows just over half (52 percent) of respondents have a Will. Kaufman also cites industry statistics that show less than a third of Canadians have a signed power of attorney. A power of attorney is a legal document that gives another person (or a trust company) the power to take care of your financial and legal matters if you&#8217;re away, or sidelined by illness or injury. (The person given this power is called the \u201cattorney\u201d and it doesn&#8217;t refer to a lawyer).<\/p>\n<p>There are different types of power of attorney that can handle property and finances, as well as an \u201cenduring\u201d or \u201ccontinuing\u201d power of attorney which makes decisions if you&#8217;re incapable. There is also a power of attorney for personal and health issues. Kaufman says the attorney should be someone with financial acumen who you trust and can be available to communicate important and timely decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery Canadian with assets of any size needs a power of attorney,\u201d Kaufman says. \u201cIf anything were to happen to you while you&#8217;re still alive, there needs to be someone who can deal with your assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The importance of a wealth plan<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside a Will and a power of attorney is the need for a complete financial plan that takes into consideration the money you&#8217;ll need in retirement \u2014 including funds set aside for health care costs \u2014 as well as assets you want to leave behind to children or charities.<\/p>\n<p>With health care costs, a good wealth management plan can help forecast expenses based on a person&#8217;s personal preferences. For instance, some people might want to remain in their home when they become seriously ill and hire health care professionals to take care of them there. Others may prefer to move into a long-term-care facility. Either way, the costs of this care can be several thousand dollars each month. \u201cAll of those things have costs associated with them,\u201d Kaufman says. \u201cOnce we understand someone&#8217;s preference, we can plan for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaufman also encourages women to do this planning sooner, rather than later. The worst time to tackle a financial plan is when there&#8217;s a negative life event, such as the diagnosis of a serious illness or a death in the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be too shocking to have to absorb it, while also trying to cope with what&#8217;s happening to loved ones,\u201d says Kaufman. There&#8217;s a risk of making overly emotional decisions or mistakes in the wealth management plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Women embracing wealth and health planning<\/h2>\n<p>The good news is many women are open to wealth and health planning, says Jennifer Lemieux, vice president and branch manager at RBC Dominion Securities in Kingston, Ont.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen love to be educated and to do research on the things that are important to them, which is often tied to their well-being and their family,\u201d says Lemieux, who works with women of various ages and financial circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>According to The EIU survey, 41 percent of baby boomer women expect to give their wealth to their children. For baby boomer men, a spouse and children are close, at 39 percent and 32 percent respectively. Younger women with fewer family responsibilities slightly more often than older women plan to allocate assets to charitable organizations, which suggests priorities may shift towards family as women age and obligations change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor many women, there is something heartwarming about watching the wealth you&#8217;ve built directly impact the lives of your children or grandchildren,\u201d says Lemieux.<\/p>\n<p>However, Lemieux also finds herself reminding her female clients to set aside enough assets for themselves, to ensure they live a comfortable and happy life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we don&#8217;t want is for someone to give away too much capital and an unforeseen event comes up and now, rather than helping your children, you&#8217;re living with them,\u201d Lemieux says with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>A complete wealth management plan, built with the support and guidance of an experienced wealth professional, can give women financial control \u2014 and a sense of empowerment as they age. \u201cIt helps to reassure them that, what&#8217;s really important to them is looked after,\u201d Lemieux says.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Statistics show 70 percent of new Alzheimer\u2019s patients are women.
