The Problem
Retirement brings a new set of document deadlines. Medicare has annual enrollment windows that, if missed, can result in coverage gaps and late enrollment penalties that last for life. Life insurance policies may be approaching conversion deadlines. Estate documents like wills and trusts need periodic review. Prescriptions require refills and annual renewals. Property taxes and insurance policies keep their own schedules.
Many of these deadlines carry significant financial consequences. Missing Medicare open enrollment means waiting a full year — and paying a permanent premium surcharge. A lapsed life insurance policy may not be reinstatable at the same rate.
