Being a family caregiver involves juggling a lot of different roles and taking on many new responsibilities. I always encourage families to divide these responsibilities among all of them so that the burden doesn't overwhelm just one person. But whether these responsibilities are taken on by one person or shared by a few think of managing your loved one's affairs as three unique areas of responsibility one of medical agent, another as financial power of attorney and as third as Executor of the estate. Each of these roles will require a written document or advanced directive to authorize you to manage these responsibilities. In this lesson we'll go over the role of the medical and financial power of attorney and I'll cover the role of the executor in the next lesson.
