Planning and Legal Documents
Whatever else you do, be sure the person in your care has these key legal forms in place: an updated will, a power of attorney for finances, and an advance medical directive, which can include a living will or a power of attorney for healthcare, or both. Having them in place before there’s a crisis can help avoid confusion and delay at a time when there are more important things to focus on.
