As Freemasons, we look after one another — and planning ahead is one of the most important ways we can protect ourselves and our loved ones. Planning for Later Life in Spain provides clear, practical guidance for expatriates living in Spain as they grow older, including how to prepare for changes in health, mobility, and personal circumstances.
The document outlines essential steps such as making a will, arranging powers of attorney, understanding Spanish social care and the Ley de Dependencia, planning finances and pensions, and considering funeral arrangements — including details of the Masonic Funeral Plan available in Valencia.
