Information and education is the first step needed for folks to make informed decisions while they are able. Thanks for reminding all of us, young and old, to get their affairs in order ~ now.
Are they going to be talking about guardianship abuse or guardianship as if it's warm and fuzzy?
I suggest signing all legal documents with the cameras rolling before, during and after signing event and then making copies of the tape, firlm and stashing the copies in safe, unrelated and secure locations just in case IF and when proof of the signing situation is needed IF it is questioned or contested which can lead into legal nightmare of intervention by the courts. Somehow we need to find ways to be sure our wishes are carried out with the least amount of complication and effort.
need a lot of assistance in this area
