[quote=Anonymous]Unless they truly are not competent to make their own decisions, all you can do is explain to them how things will work if they don’t make any end of life arrangements, let them know you’re making a standing offer to help them make such arrangements, and then accept their decision. Be very frank: 100% of us will die eventually. You’ll either have the mental and physical capacity to live independently right up to the day you die or you won’t have that capacity and will require care. You can choose from care options now, while you are still able, and for the eventual disposition of your property OR you can make no plans and arrangements, in which case someone else will choose your care solution (if needed) and dispose of your property as they see fit. You can make these choices yourself or cede all control to someone else. Do you want to have control?[/quote]
