Since you can't stop your 'children' from making bad decisions, make sure they are prepared in case they do.
If you have 'children' between the ages of 18 and 24 make sure they have a Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Surrogate and Living Will prepared in case of an emergency. Without these documents, parents and loved ones are helpless.
Durable Power of Attorney:
Name someone to manage your financial affairs either immediately or in the future should you lack the capacity to do so yourself.
Healthcare Surrogate:
Name someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make them yourself.
“Since you can’t stop your ‘children’ from making bad decisions, make sure they are prepared in case they do.”
Living Will:
Document that will state how and if you want to prolong your life if you fall into a vegetative state.
