[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin works in hospice care. I've heard some stories..... The common scenario is when a parent becomes incapacitated and the kids don't know what they want, or where to find any documentation. Bills go unpaid because the kids don't know about them, kids have to use their own money to pay the bills they do know about because they don't have a way to access the parent's accounts. Kids end up fighting with each other about what they think mom/dad would want. It's a ton of added stress at a time when the kids should be focused on supporting their parent's health. Sibling relationships get ripped apart over fights about how to handle the situation, when a simple set of instructions from the parent would have answered a lot of questions.
