hile caregiving for my grandmother (Cora Hobbs), I realized that I was not alone in the quest for information and resources—thus was born the Senior Resource Guide. Having been an eldercare advocate for over 25 years, it was a dream come true to start SRG with my husband C ora Hobbs 1915–2006 and then have our children join us. As a family-owned and operated organization, we are committed to assisting those on their quest for active aging, which for many includes caregiving. Here’s to your quest!

DAILY CARE ASSISTANCE

Home Care vs Home Health Care How can I determine if home care is necessary? When self-care at home becomes difficult and/or family caregivers are not available to assist, home care may be the answer. Home care often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time. Home care is often easier and faster than moving to an institutional care setting and allows the senior to stay at home in familiar surroundings. What is home health care? When the need is for more than home and personal care, a home health care agency may be required. Home health care provides skilled medical services (such as administration and adjustment of medication levels, monitoring and dressing of wounds, etc.) in the home by trained medical personnel. Home health care is always ordered and supervised by a physician. What is home care? Simply put, home care is non-medical, personal assistance provided in the home. Home care may include help with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. It may include a wide range of services: taking and recording vital signs, assistance in the bathroom, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, grocery shopping and pharmacy errands, home safety supervision, medication reminders, bill-paying, laundry, and transportation. Will my insurance cover the costs? Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances are sources of payment for receiving home and home health care. Home Healthcare services are typically medically necessary. They are paid for by Medicare or other health insurance, and have been ordered by a physician. Private duty home care services are typically paid for privately, or using long-term care insurance, reverse mortgage proceeds, or Veterans aid and attendance pension benefits, or some combination of any of these programs.

Need Long-term Care? by JEFF CARMACK | Texas Health and Human Services

Most of us don’t like to think about long-term care but there’s a good chance that, sooner or later, we’ll need it. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives. If you or someone you care about needs long-term care, Texas Health and Human Services can help. The agency offers a wealth of information to connect you to resources, healthcare providers and services that help you live healthier. VISIT the website at www.dads.state.tx.us. Click “Help For Texans” and find information on services for people with medical or physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities, for older adults, and for caregivers who need a break from their duties. When you go to this page you can start the application process that will let you know if you qualify for services. CALL 1-855-937-2372 for information. Although you may not qualify for services, HHS can still steer you in the right direction. The 28 area agencies on aging offer help to Texans age 60 and older, their family members and caregivers to locate and access local services, including benefits counseling, legal assistance, care coordination, caregiver support services, in-home support and the ombudsman program. DIAL 2-1-1 Texas, a program operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, connects Texans with the services they need. Accurate, well-organized and easy-to-find information from more than 60,000 state and local health and human services programs is available by phone and online. For more information, dial 2-1-1 or visit www.211texas.org.

Long-Distance Caregiving Checklist Here are a few items to keep in mind during your next visit. • Attend a doctor’s appointment with your parent to find out current health status and concerns. • Check with the pharmacy to make sure your parent is getting all his or her prescriptions filled and on a timely basis. • Kitchen check-up. Make sure to report any weight loss to the doctor as it can also be a sign of something more serious. Check the refrigerator to make sure there is ample food or for outdated food. • Assess driving ability. • Meet your parents’ neighbors and close friends and get their phone numbers, and provide your emergency contact. • Discuss your parents’ wishes for health care and finances in case they are unable to make those decisions in the future. • Gather a list of trustworthy, reputable eldercare and related resources in the community. • Get copies of your parent’s insurance card(s), physicians’ names and phone numbers, key contacts and medical history. • Do a safety evaluation of the home. • Consider a personal emergency response system. Long Distance Caregiving: Planning For the Future Here are some primary areas where aging parents often need help. • Medication Management • Meal Preparation. • Transportation • Declining mobility or health • Memory problems • Household Deficiencies

Photography | Truvée & Susan Palmer,The Girl in The Little Red Kitchen

3/4 cup Truvée red blend wine, divided 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 whole chipotles in adobe sauce 2 tablespoons adobe sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Ingredients 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 1/2 tablespoon avocado or grapeseed oil 2 cups fresh blackberries 1/4 cup ketchup

In a large saucepan over medium heat drizzle the avocado oil and add the onions. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. To the pan, add the blackberries, ketchup, 1/2 cup wine, balsamic vinegar, chipotles, adobo sauce, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the blackberries start to soften. Remove from the heat and transfer to your blender. Carefully puree the barbecue sauce until smooth. Place a fine mesh sieve over the saucepan and pour the sauce into the sieve. Using a spoon press the sauce through until only the solids are left, discard and add the remaining 1/4 cup of wine. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly before applying to chicken, pork, beef or seafood. Find 48

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY 300 For Less Than $

“I was amazed! Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!” — Don, January 2016

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $300 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,000 or more?

The answer: Although tremendous strides have

been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...

The MDHearingAid PRO ® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 75,000 satisfied PRO customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registeredhearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a medical-grade hearing aid. MDHearingAid PRO ® gives you a sophisticated high-performance hearing aid that works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a hearing specialist conveniently on-line or by phone —even after sale at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know... why pay more?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR

45-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL!

Hearing is believing and we invite you to try this nearly invisible hearing aid with no annoying whistling or background noise for yourself. If you are not completely satisfied, simply return it within that time period for a

100% refund of your purchase price.

The ideal patient-doctor relationship is really a partnership. Research has shown that a strong doctor-patient relationship leads to better medical outcomes and patient satisfaction. An important element of this partnership is communication. Open and honest exchange of information is critical to managing good health and identifying health issues as early as possible.

TIPS

on How to Talk to Your Doc

This means feeling comfortable asking questions, sharing health concerns and taking an active role in the exchange. Below are a few tips to enhance communication with your doctor during clinic visits: Start by making a list of concerns prior to the visit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible you may not have a chance to get through your entire list, so prioritizing your questions and concerns is important. Be prepared with the details about your symptoms, medications and any special needs you might have while in the exam room. Bring a trusted friend or family member. Ask them to take notes so you can pay close attention to what the physician is saying and asking. Ask them to remind you of important details or questions that you may miss. Following the visit, review your notes and start making preparations for the next steps. Make sure you understand what is needed for any testing, supportive therapies, new treatments and subsequent follow-up visits. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

A New Look at Independence

by Suze L. Miller, LMSW, SRES

e’ve grown up thinking that living in our own home for as long as possible is independence.

Our Life Story Condensed First we lived with our parents—but that was too confining so we got our first apartment. Freedom! Then the apartment became too small for our growing family. So we made the scary decision to buy our first home, and soon after knew it was worth every minute of stress associated with such a move. Your home served your family well, but now it is so much bigger than you need, more work than you can handle, and can be isolating and lonely. Most of the time you can take care of yourself just fine. But on those days when you can’t, you depend on others for cooking, cleaning, transportation and company. Not too independent. A New Kind of Independence Moving to a Senior Living Community, whether Independent or Assisted Living actually gives you more independence! You can eat in your own apartment, or join others for meals—you decide. You can have your private time or spend time in other activities with new friends. You choose. And you don’t have to wait on others for transportation. That’s independence! Was it scary to move from your parents’ home? Of course, but it started you on a new adventure! And now, a new adventure awaits you as you talk with family about moving to more INDEPENDENT settings. You can do it! 82

Avoiding Isolation Through Community Living Isolation can be common among seniors, especially if they lost a loved one or driver’s license. If you know a senior, check on them often. Visiting about their careers and other memories is important and meaningful. A trending option is retirement communities with around-the-clock staff who make a point of getting to know residents, which helps alleviate feelings of loneliness. Families who make a plan when they’re healthy and capable of making these decisions are more likely to enjoy longterm satisfaction. Many seniors fear becoming a burden to their families; having a long-term plan is an ideal way to minimize this concern. Residents who’ve successfully made the transition to community living often say they enjoy their worry-free lifestyle so much they wish they’d made it sooner. There are significant benefits to remaining energized as we age. Being around others keeps people connected and positive. And of course eating well and activity itself is important to maintaining overall health. A great option is a retirement community that offers fresh chef-prepared meals, as well as an abundance of activities from play cards and games to discussing books or race homemade cars. By remaining involved, seniors can truly experience the retirement they always imagined. Sponsored by: See ad on page 85

Changes in the brain can begin two decades before symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appear, but experts say there are things we can do that may slow the process. “Brains, like bodies, need a daily workout,” said gerontologist Beverly Sanborn. “Good brain health helps build neuro-connections and cognitive reserve to draw on as we age.”

Maintaining Your Brain

10 Smart Tips 1. Eat Right – A heart-healthy diet with plenty of antioxidants 2. Exercise – Minimum 30 minutes daily; mix cardio and strength training 3. Challenge Your Brain – The best exercises teach something new and are a mental stretch 4. Stay Social – Isolation and inactivity lead to depression, which contributes to certain dementias 5. Reduce Stress – Chronic stress releases hormones that eventually affect memory 6. Sleep – Sleep deprivation disrupts coordinated brain activity 7. Stop multi-tasking - Interruptions interfere with memory formation 8. Embrace Your Spirituality – Be it good works, prayer or meditation, a fulfilling spiritual life creates well-being 9. Maintain Your Purpose – Feeling that your life has meaning fosters positive attitudes and emotions 10. Don’t Get Stuck in a Rut – Keep things interesting to remain effective Sponsored by: See ad on page 97 SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

Tips for Effective Alzheimer’s Communication Alzheimer’s disease presents many challenges, and communication is a big one. Despite the challenges, you can communicate effectively with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s. Consider these tips provided by the Mayo Clinic staff: • Speak clearly. Introduce yourself. Speak in a clear, straightforward manner. • Show respect. Avoid secondary baby talk and diminutive phrases, such as “good girl.” Don’t assume that your loved one can’t understand you, and don’t talk about your loved one as if he or she weren’t there. • Stay present. Maintain eye contact, and stay near your loved one so that he or she will know that you’re listening and trying to understand. • Avoid distractions. Communication may be difficult—if not impossible— against a background of competing sights and sounds. • Keep it simple. Use short sentences and plain words. As the disease progresses, yes-no questions may work best, and only one question at a time is best. Break down requests into single steps. • Don’t interrupt. It may take longer than you expect for your loved one to process and respond. Avoid criticizing, hurrying and correcting. • Use visual cues. Sometimes gestures or other visual cues promote better understanding than words alone. Rather than simply asking if your loved one needs to use the toilet, for example, take him or her to the toilet and point to it. • Don’t argue. Your loved one’s reasoning and judgment will decline over time. To spare anger and agitation, don’t argue with your loved one. • Stay calm. Even when you’re frustrated, keep your voice gentle. Your nonverbal cues, including the tone of your voice, can send a clearer message than what you actually say.

WHERE

by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

do you go from here?

hen everyday tasks such as cooking or maintaining a house appear to be burdensome for a loved one, or signs of loneliness become prevalent, it may be time explore a new living situation. So, where do you go from here? Eldercare professionals such as a geriatric care manager (GCM) might be a good place to start. They can be instrumental in helping determine the specific services your loved one may need and are also familiar with local options and associated costs. Most GCMs charge a fee; so be sure to get references and fee information before hiring one. However, if you choose to do the research yourself, the first step is to research options available in your area. From there, you can begin to locate places that meet your specific criteria and the needs of your loved one. There are five major housing options to consider: living with a family member or friend; independent retirement communities; assisted living facilities; nursing homes; and continued care retirement communities. Moving in with a family member or friend is an ideal option when it is convenient for both parties. This allows seniors to remain in a comfortable environment and maintain social relationships. This option is often the most affordable. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

125

Home care providers can be considered in addition to or instead of this option. Home care services provide specialized non-medical care, as well as create respite opportunities for caregivers—allowing your loved one maximum freedom. Home care should not be confused with home health companies that provide medical assistance in the home. Be sure to look for organizations that provide the type and level of care that is needed. Independent retirement communities are housing options specifically designed for active aging adults who need no assistance with daily activities. This can range from apartments to townhouses and single family homes. This housing option gives seniors maximum independence. Retirement communities generally provide opportunities for socialization, such as games night in a centrally located place on the property. They are ideal for independent seniors looking to retire among people their own age and retain a social life. These communities, however, are not a viable option for those who need help with everyday tasks, such as cooking, cleaning or dressing. Assisted living properties provide a low level of care for seniors who need additional help, but still wish to remain independent. Most are residence hall-style with a choice of single or double rooms. Housing options vary depending on location and can range from a single room to an individual apartment, with or without a kitchen. These properties can offer help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and cleaning, around the clock. In general, most places provide three meals per day, light transportation, 24-hour security, medication management and social activities. Be sure to ask each facility which services they provide. Assisted living is typically not covered by insurance and most families use private pay options such as personal savings, pensions or social security to cover the costs. Because this option can be expensive, it is important to check your budget and make sure you or your loved one can handle the cost long-term. There are a growing number of assisted living properties that specialize in Alzheimer’s and memory care. They provide similar services as a regular assisted living property, however they have trained staff in working with an Alzheimer’s resident’s special needs. In addition, they provide a safe, secure unit for their residents. Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest level of care available. Unlike assisted living, they maintain constant care, with a physician or trained nurse on call at all times. Skilled nursing facilities include residence hall-style housing, three meals per day, and help with dressing, bathing, eating and medication management. 126

Most provide recreational activities for residents and some provide rehab opportunities. This housing option is ideal for those who can no longer live independently and need 24-hour care. Many also offer temporary stay options for those who need constant care after hospitalization and wish to regain their independence post-recovery. Temporary nursing home stays are often covered by Medicare, but long-term or permanent stays are not. Continued care retirement communities, also known as CCRCs, provide increasing levels of care as needs change. These communities are equipped for all levels of care, from completely independent housing options to constant care options. Seniors can live independently at the outset and transition into minimal care options or nursing care as their needs change. A major benefit is that your loved ones do not have to keep moving as their condition changes. Although cost plays a large factor with this option, it creates a stable environment for retiring and allows seniors to form and maintain social relationships. Overall, choosing to transition your loved one into a different living environment is a big decision with many factors to consider. It is important to honestly assess your loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial situation, current care needs and how those factors may change in the next five to 10 years.

Preparing Presenting a

Eulogy

by JOHN B. EARTHMAN

he purpose of a eulogy is to acknowledge and share information about a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. It is a great honor for someone to present and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important part of the grieving process for the presenter, as well as the audience. A good place to start is to make a list of thoughts and memories youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to share. While others might not be comfortable or able to give their own eulogy, they might find great comfort in sharing memories with you that you could incorporate into the eulogy. Things you might include are stories, quotes, expressions of love or prayers, all of which can be delivered in a serious or humorous manner depending on what you feel is appropriate. In an effort to have the audience connected and involved in your tribute, the eulogy can be compiled from private memories that your audience might not be aware of as well as personal traits and details of the loved one that all will remember. You will want to include any accomplishments or honors no matter how big or small that were especially important to your loved one. Memories shared should always acknowledge the person in a positive manner and recognize them for who they were accurately. Once you are ready to write the eulogy, decide on how you will begin, then pick the main thoughts and memories that you wish to share and finally determine how you will close. You need to properly introduce yourself when you begin and have a summarizing statement to share when you close. You can read from your notes, but practice giving the eulogy and change any part that does not feel like natural conversation in your own words. Presenting a eulogy can cause great anxiety. Stopping at any time to collect your thoughts or emotions and then continuing when you are ready is understandable and acceptable. If you decide that you cannot continue, simply skip to your final statement. It is the message about the impact of your loved that is important, not the delivery, so just be yourself.

Understanding by Senior Resource Guide

Hospice

ospice care is a philosophy of care that accepts dying as a natural part of life. When death is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone it. Hospice provides care, comfort and support for persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families.

How Does Hospice Work? Hospice care is for any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness. All hospices consider the patient and family together as the unit of care. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses are eligible to receive hospice care. The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the homes of a loved one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homeâ&#x20AC;? may also be broadly construed to include services provided in nursing homes or hospitals. Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and when appropriate, helps make decisions for the hospice patient. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE!

137

Who is the Hospice Team? Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. They work together focusing on the dying patient’s needs; physical, psychological, or spiritual. The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control. How is Hospice Paid for? Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospices will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. Who is Eligible for Medicare Hospice Benefits? Hospice care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance). You are eligible for Medicare hospice benefits when you meet all of the following conditions: • You are eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital Insurance), and • Your doctor and the hospice medical director certify that you are terminally ill and probably have less than six months to live, and • You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare covered benefits for your terminal illness, and • You receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice program. Please note: Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness. What Does Medicare Cover? Medicare covers these hospice services and pays nearly all of their costs: • Doctor services and Nursing care • Medical equipment (like wheelchairs or walkers) • Medical supplies (like bandages and catheters) • Drugs for symptom control and pain relief • Short-term hospital care, including respite and inpatient for pain/symptom management • Home health aide and homemaker services • Physical, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy • Social work services and Dietary counseling • Grief support to help you and your family Please note: You will only have to pay part of the cost for outpatient drugs and inpatient respite care. The Medicare Hospice Benefit Does Not Cover the Following: • Treatment intended to cure your terminal illness. You should talk with your doctor if you are thinking about potential treatment to cure your illness. • Medications not directly related to your hospice diagnosis. Hospice team 138

SRGSERV.COM

members will consult with the hospice physician and will inform you and your family which drugs and/or medications are covered and which ones are not covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit. • Room and board aren’t covered by Medicare. You may receive hospice services wherever you live, even in a nursing home, however, the Medicare Hospice Benefit does not pay for nursing home room and board. Respite Care and Medicare Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. As a hospice patient, you may have one person who takes care of you every day, like a family member. Sometimes your caregiver needs someone to take care of you for a short time while they do other things that need to be done. During a period of respite care, you might be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice residential facility, hospital, or nursing home. How Do I Begin Receiving Hospice? Anyone can inquire about hospice services. You or your loved one may call a local hospice and request services. The hospice staff will then contact your physician to determine if a referral to hospice is appropriate. Another way to inquire about hospice is to talk with your physician, and he or she can make a referral to hospice. Hospice can begin as soon as a ‘referral’ is made by the person’s doctor. As a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care and receive the “traditional” Medicare coverage you had before electing hospice. All care that you receive for your illness must be given by your hospice team. Questions to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Program • What services are provided? • What kind of support is available to the family/caregiver? • What roles do the attending physician and hospice play? • How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable? • How are services provided after hours? • How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care? • Can hospice be brought into a nursing home or long-term care facility? • Are any of the staff members certified or credentialed in hospice? • Do physicians visit the patient in the home? • What is the staff to patient ratio? • Are any alternative therapies provided to manage symptoms? • What ‘extras’ does the hospice provide?

Be a Hero, Save a Life, & Make a New Best Friend! Do you have an affinity for animals? Have you considered adopting a pet?

f you’ve ever had one, you know that life is just better with four-legged friends. Who doesn’t enjoy the experience of enthusiastic love when you’re greeted by your furry friend – even if you’ve only been gone 10 minutes? Pets provide companionship, unconditional love, entertainment and wet kisses. Hundreds of dogs are awaiting their forever families in rescue centers and foster homes in the Austin area. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized annually, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet.

Here are some great reasons to consider adoption: • You save a life! • Most rescue pets are microchipped as well as spayed or neutered. • Potty training is almost always completed. • Shots and vaccines are up to date. • Every pet deserves a loving home and a second chance.

Be sure to consider the age, size and disposition of the animal you want to adopt. Will their activity level match yours? And, consider contacting some of the amazing rescue organizations in your community. You can find a rescue group for almost any breed with a quick Google search. Here are a few places to start: Austin Pets Alive!, Austin Humane Society, Cocker Spaniel Rescue of Austin, PAWS of Austin and Pug Rescue of Austin. If you love furry friends and aren’t ready to make a lifetime commitment, there are a lot of great rescue organizations looking for volunteers and foster homes. You can never have too many wet kisses! This article sponsored by: See ad on page 83

Must-Have Legal Documents by SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE

hether you’re a caregiver or interested in getting your own business in order, we’ve identified five recommended legal documents that every adult should have. There are many online resources that explain in further detail about each document. If you have an attorney, be sure to ask about these documents or there are online resources that provide a free template for you to create your own. Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a moment to get organized. ADVANCE DIRECTIVE Also known as a living will or health care declaration/directive, this document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and life-sustaining measures, in the case that you are not able to communicate them verbally. Details might include a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR), the use of breathing machines, tube feeding or organ donation. Making these decisions in advance lets medical professionals know what measures to take and grants your loved ones peace of mind, should they have to communicate these decisions for you.

162

SRGSERV.COM

DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE While an advance directive is limited to end-of-life concerns, a durable power of attorney for health care accounts for all health care decisions in the case that you are incapable of making decisions for yourself. In this document, you are able to outline how your designated power of attorney should act. Their authority to make these decisions ends when you are once again capable of making your own decisions. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Many people know this document simply as a “will.” It outlines how your property (including digital property such as email accounts and blogs) should be distributed and to whom. Different states have different requirements for one’s will. In Texas your will must be signed by two witnesses. LIVING TRUST A living trust designates someone (trustee) to help manage and distribute your assets rather than going through the court system, as in a last will. This often prevents your last wishes from becoming public record. This document also designates terms in which the trustee would set into action, should you be unable to make decisions regarding your assets during and after your life. FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY This document designates someone (principal) to do business on your behalf, should you be unable to take care of necessary matters yourself. Tasks designated might include paying bills, selling property, managing assets or applying for medical benefits. Unlike a living trust, a financial power of attorney dies when you do.
