Did you know that the average 35 year old has a 50% chance of a total disability lasting 90 days or longer before age 65? And furthermore, at age 50 when we have just 15 years of work before retirement, our chances of total disability are 1 in 3.

Sister and brother, Judy and Peter Bagshaw, wrote ONE FOOT ON A BANANA PEEL following Judy’s near fatal illness and resulting disability in 2005, necessitating Peter to  take over Judy’s affairs while she was incapacitated. Both learned valuable lessons from the experience, and hope that the knowledge they share in their book will help others avoid some of the problems they experienced.

ONE FOOT ON A BANANA PEEL is about being prepared; about having all your ducks in a row; about providing an organized package of information so that if by chance you find yourself in the circumstance where you cannot take care of business, someone else can act on your behalf.
