[quote=Anonymous]See what is already in place and see what you can get in place cooperatively by saying how it can help them now such as someone can pay their bills if they can sign on bank accounts (but don’t have liability for bills) and have online access. A trusted person having access to online accounts, passwords and recovery emails helped a lot with bills and finances. We only needed the diagnosis for claims on long term health insurance. I faxed letters to the doctors to tell them what I noticed so they would look for those things as well. I agree with previous poster that relatives with differing opinions (or in denial) make it challenging. PS the general Power of Attorney was helpful, but it seems like every bank and agency has their own power of attorney form they want signed so if there is an important account you may want to make that a priority.
