[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not have agreed to be designated in the first place. For any who are capable of handling it, you need to tell them you can't do it. Don't ask them, don't hint, TELL them. It's not a discussion and you don't need their permission and you don't need to help them find a replacement.[/quote] Easier when you’re not their next of or only kin. I’m dealing with multiple relatives unrelated to each other with no kids or sieving siblings. [/quote] You say no. They can hire people to play every role from care manager to POA to trustee. It’s expensive because it’s a ton of work. People love to take advantage of family. One of my kids has SN, my husband has health issues and I do for those I love who are there for me, not because someone feels entitled based on blood. I have a sibling who has alienated anyone who got close with backstabbing, manipulation and/or cheating and despite not being close and being mean spirited to me, she expected me to be her person. I declined and she created family drama and chaos, but eventually she hired her network.[/quote]
