When to start
The honest answer for most Centerville families: earlier than feels necessary.

The problem most people don't see coming
Of all the concerns Centerville families raise about turning 65 checklist, one comes up again and again: overwhelming confusion about parts a b c and d. It rarely announces itself in advance — most people discover it only after a triggering event, when options have already narrowed. Planning ahead, even by a single year, typically preserves choices that disappear later.
