My mom is responsible for me in case I go bezerk, legally. So in case something happens to her or after she’s passed, the person that would be legally responsible would be my uncle and he’s not exactly to be trusted.
So we put it in my mom’s will that in case she’s absent or ill or had passed away, the people responsible for me would be my sister and my moms best friend that’s like my second mom.
Did any of you did something similar?
The closest thing to that, that I’ve done is getting a list of numbers that I can ring, and at what times I can ring each number.
I haven’t had much luck in getting meaningful help from anybody I know in a crisis. Let’s just say, the people I should involve sound like your uncle. A bit untrustworthy.
The closest thing that I have is a medical and durable power of attorney. My mom is in charge if I become medically or mentally incapacitated. She can make both medical and financial decisions for me.
I don’t have anything like that. I think I should.
It is just assumed that my Mum and my partner will share the responsibility I think.
I’ve filled up an action plan. This is a record of what stuff I want to happen/don’t want to happen if I get real bad. It is full of stuff about what meds I don’t like (such as haldol) and who can be told about my health. Have been thinking of maybe giving a family member power of attorney in regards to my financial stuff - I get real free n eazy with cash when I am ill.
My brother is the executor of my will. He is in charge should I become non compus mentis.
I’ve got no one up to it.
My brother is my legal guardian. I have a sister who might step in if for some reason my brother can’t fulfill this function any longer. After that, I’m on my own.
my sister is my next of kin so if anything happens she gets contacted, other than that though there is nothing, my dad was my named person and he would have been in charge if i was hospitalised but he’s not here now
If I thought for a moment someone would respect my wishes to what I want, I might get one.
In my past experiences, I have discovered not even the pdocs kept my info private- even after signing the HIPPA forms.
