Do You Know What to Ask Elderly Parents or Grandparents?

 

 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO ASK ELDERLY PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS?

 

 

This is an uncomfortable situation to have to be in.

 

I have had to do this myself, & I can tell you it’s not easy like the commercials show on television.

 

Why?  Denial, no one wants to talk about death.

 

 

But I can tell you that if you don’t talk about this subject to get some clarity, the issues that you will go through are very difficult & can cost YOU a lot of money.

 

 

 

 

So, today I’m going to talk to you as a friend & as a nurse, which I am.  I’ve spent my career dealing with life & death situations & all that go with it, and I’m going to be blunt about some things.  I assure you that those who did not make these questions a priority, have gone through a massive roll of red tape. 

Even if your family situation is such that you feel this doesn’t pertain to you because you aren’t close, OR your family is already deceased, you may either relatives still living.  In addition, you may have family or friends who do pertain to this information.

 

 

 

So, to avoid sitting in an attorney’s office without any of this information after the fact, please, take note of this short list of city, state & government requirements.

 

 

 

 

Do you know what to ask elderly parents or grandparents? 

 

 

Do you have an attorney.

 

 

Do you have an up to date will.

 Do you have any hidden assets or liabilities.

Where do you keep your important financial documents.

Who will handle your affairs, if you become incapacitated.

Do you have a living will.

Do you have a medical power of attorney.

Do you have sufficient medical insurance.

Do you have long term care insurance.

Have you made funeral plans.

Will your estate owe taxes, & do you have money to pay them.

Do you have an Administratrix / Administrator of the Estate.

I realize these are not things that most of us want to discuss much less get involved in.  However, I cannot stress to you enough, the urgent matter of these documents & conversation be confronted, dealt with now & NOT put off for any reason.

Without these BASIC DOCUMENTS listed above drawn up by an attorney, on file & each kept in a place where you can find them quickly & easily, you will have a difficult mess on your hands.  I honestly cannot stress enough the importance of these documents.

“You cannot change, what you refuse to confront”……..
