Financial decisions

[Gerianne]

I learned that if I ever become unable to handle my money decisions, I need to appoint someone financial power of attorney for my accounts. Otherwise, no one can have access to my accounts to take care of my needs if I am seriously ill. It is very specific.

I think a trusted family member would be fine.  But sometimes that can cause friction among the family.

This is true. If you do not appoint someone to handle it for you it will go to the courts and you know what will happen then.
