Legal Planning for Family Caregivers: What Professionals Need to Know
This session will answer fundamental legal questions common to all caregivers responsible for taking care of individuals who are unable to care for themselves. What are the duties and authorities under a Power of Attorney for Property, Power of Attorney for Healthcare, Living Trust or Living Will? How does the law allow for a person to manage another person's finances and healthcare? Is it possible for your clients to avoid legal pitfalls as a caregiver?
