Legal and Financial Preparedness FAQs

 

Where are important legal documents (wills, power of attorney, advance directives) located?

It’s essential to locate and safely store key legal documents before starting care. Tribute does not provide legal services, but our team will remind you of which documents are important and can coordinate with attorneys or care managers if needed.

 

How do I get my parents’ financial affairs in order?

This is an important part of preparing for long-term care. Tribute can refer you to trusted care managers, elder law attorneys, or financial advisors if you need help. Having a clear understanding of finances will make care planning smoother for everyone involved.

 

Have they discussed their end-of-life wishes?

These conversations are deeply personal but vital.  If these discussions haven’t yet happened, we encourage families to talk openly, ideally with legal and medical professionals present.
