How can my wife and I securely plan for our final expenses, considering we are in our mid-sixties, on Social Security and a small pension, with no debt, good state retiree healthcare supplement to Medicare, and long-term care insurance? We are concerned about protecting our savings, specifically for burial expenses, from potential government claims during our final days. Should we consider prepaying funeral expenses, gifting our term life insurance policies to our children, or investing in interest/income-bearing assets? Additionally, how should we best assist our grandchildren with their education expenses?
