• My elderly friend is in poor health and her children are quite overbearing. She is worried about what they may decide is best for her if she becomes unable to make decisions for herself. How can she make sure her own wishes will be followed?
• How can my friend be sure that the person she appoints as her agent to make personal decisions for her will follow her wishes?
• How can my friend feel confident that her children will not try to put the document into effect before she is truly unable to make her own decisions?
• What happens if an unforeseen situation arises that the document doesn't cover?
