Webinar Registration
Wednesday, March 18, from 12 – 12:45pm
You may not be facing a crisis. Your parent may still be independent. But if you are the person who would be called first, an important question remains. Would you actually have the legal authority to step in?
In New York, authority does not transfer automatically to an adult child. Financial access and medical decision making must be formally granted while capacity exists. Without proper documents in place, families may be forced to seek court involvement at the worst possible time.
Join this session to learn what legal preparedness really means and how families can create structure before decisions are forced by circumstance.
Focus of the Webinar
- What legal authority is and why it must be formally created
- What happens when capacity is lost and no documents are in place
- The role of power of attorney, health care proxy, and living will
- How to begin the process thoughtfully and proactively
