Tip #2:
have all these important legal documents properly in place for yourselves and your Aging Loved Ones?
1. Find a Mobile Notary (to make signing easy for older adults)
2. Here’s a list to get you started…
a. Power of Attorney – must be set well in advance - You won’t be able to easily create one once a person is deemed not to have ‘sufficient mental capacity’
b. Decide need for a will or trust?
c. Get a healthcare proxy
d. Discuss loved ones wishes for life-sustaining treatments and end of life choices
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
Hospice
Funeral
Burial Plans
Body Part Donations
Other
e. Family member roles:
Who will be the executor of the estate?
Who will manage finances?
Who will care for Mom & Dad (Aging Spouse, etc.?)
Consider family member’s personalities in assigning roles (i.e., the emotional one versus practical one) until a professional can be hired, as needed.
