[quote=Anonymous]Get there to Elder attorney ASAP. Get all the legal stuff done immediately. Make sure you are given a Durable POA effective as soon as it’s signed.

Then get a list of all doctors and medication they are taking. If something happens to them, you need to know what Meds they are taking and where their health records are.

Then make sure your parents have signed the HIPPA form that allows doctors to talk to you.

Then make sure you are added as an authorized person for all their bills. My Dad, who is still with it but more easily tired, has had cable issues. Thankfully, I’m on the cable account and I was able to handle it.

Then start researching places near you—independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care. Tour a few and figure out which ones you like. That way if they get ill or injured, you aren’t also scrambling to figure out where to put them.

Once all that is in place, then start going through and dealing with real estate stuff.

Good luck, this stuff is hard![/quote]
