[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you explain how burdensome this will be for you and your sibling?[/quote]

I don’t know where all her information is to know how to finalize any accounts that need to be finalize or settle any debts (she’s not forthcoming with her finances so I don’t know how she’s doing). My sibling is reluctant to talk about difficult issues.

I haven’t dealt with this before so I am just going off what I hear from my friends whose parents have died without a will. [/quote]
PP, sorry I wasn’t clear. I meant explain to your mom how burdensome it will be to you and your sibling to have to cope with it all. I strongly disagree about just letting ot go to probate intestate. That’s a stress you don’t need. A trust may be beneficial,as are TOD and POD accounts. Talk to a trusts and estates attorney who specializes in elder law. They usually have checklists for smaller estates to help you gather all the documents and accounts you need to get started.

Everyone needs POAs and an estate plan.[/quote]
