He's got to that age they start talking about this stuff. My MIL is 79, and Mom and Dad are 81. All talk about this stuff and it's the last thing I want to hear about.Kinda concerns me that there's something going on he isn't telling me
You're right.He's got to that age they start talking about this stuff. My MIL is 79, and Mom and Dad are 81. All talk about this stuff and it's the last thing I want to hear about.
I tell them to take a trip to Vegas and have a blast! Lol (that'll never happen).
Main thing is they have a current will and that their executors know where it is.
They're being responsible while forcing us to accept theirs and our own mortality. Sucks.
We'll prolly be telling our kids the same in the future.
I am never-endingly grateful that my mother drew up a Will and Living Revocable Trust, along with living will, healthcare POA, and overall POA, all notarized. There was a provision that I could act as POA either by her appointing me or by a statement by a physician (only one) that she could no longer manage her affairs. She had already starting turning things over to me before her accident, so I was reasonably aware of what she had and where. Other than occasional printing and faxing, everything transitioned relatively smoothly. It was plenty bad having to wrestle the hospital and nursing homes. No issues with banks, insurance, and so forth.Always double check with state laws, etc. to make sure it is a valid will, POA, etc. We get POA's that we see where it is not notarized, and we have to say, sorry so and so is on their death bed, but we can't accept this according to state law so you can't have access to her banking account!
