How will financial and health care decisions be made and by whom, if I am not able to make them?

Everyone should have Advance Directives: Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy and Living Will. Without these documents, family may not be able to step in and make decisions as you would want them to. The law is clear. No one has the right to make financial decisions as to your assets and finances unless you have named an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney.
