You will have to decide on your own priorities, but keep I mind that your children may have access to grants, loans and scholarships, whereas you have to rely on your- self for your retirement income. Consequently, you may want to put in as much as you can afford to retirement accounts available to you, such as an IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-spon- sored plan. Establish your estate plans. All parents need to develop their estate plans-but it may be even more essential for single parents. Your estate plans should include at least these three document: a will, a power of attorney and a health care power of attorney. A will allows you to name a guard- ian for your children and speci- fies how you will pass your assets on to them. A power of attorney gives someonwe the legal author- ity to make financial and other decisions for you, while a health care power of attorney autho- rizes someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. You may also need to create other arrange- ments-such as a living trust-but in any case, you will need to work with your tax and legal profes- sionals to develop comprehen- sive estate plans. Single parenthood can of- fer every bit as much joy as any other family situation, but it will require you to plan carefully and take advantage of every oppor- tunity to help ensure financial stability for your children and fi- nancial freedom for yourself.
