[quote=Anonymous]Get a power of attorney and a health care directive. A lawyer can write these up. She can add your name to bank accounts, at least one that you may need to use to pay for expenses if she gets sick or dies; I had to go in person to do this. Find out if she has will and/or trust (and where it is) as well as any brokerage accounts, etc. At least know of their existence but account numbers are best. Know her SSN and driver's license numbers. Find out if she has a safety deposit box and who she pays bills to; you will cancel these at some point. Have a discussion about how she wants to be buried or cremated. Have her buy a pre-need from a funeral home or save money for this. About 2K for cremation and at least 10K for burial plus cemetery plot is more (have dealt with both for family members). [/quote]
