The Family Security Planner
The Family Security Planner is a package of helpful sample forms for aging individuals. Unfortunately, we have found that most people do not have a healthcare directive and a durable power of attorney in place. Additionally, caregivers don’t have all of the important information they need, particularly if the loved one has dementia or memory loss.
We hope that this planner will help you begin important discussions with your aging loved ones’, and that you will be able to get the included legal forms signed and notarized. This planner can help you be ready, regardless of what may happen, with critical legal documents in place and the right information at hand.
What is in the Family Security Planner?
- A basic Durable Power of Attorney form that would be recognized in any state.
- An Advance Health Care Directive form, also called a Power of Attorney for Healthcare.
- Physician’s Orders For Life Sustaining Treatment. This form is recognized in at least 30 states. It can protect your loved ones from unnecessary and futile treatment if they do not wish to be kept alive artificially. It reflects a conversation that should take place between your elderly parents and their doctor(s) about what they want at end of life. The form must be signed by the doctor, and it becomes a permanent part of the person’s medical record.
- A Personal Information Log, where you can record important information, such as social security number, doctors names and phone numbers, contact info for neighbors and other important data.
- Getting Organized will help you record the location of important documents.
- A Checklist of Assets.
- Personal Care Plan.
- A Medication Record.
- A Location of Financial Records form.
- Many other helpful forms and documents.
