If you’re listening with a lump in your throat and your parent is in the hospital—unconscious, sedated, or confused—and no one has legal authority to act, this episode is for you.
I’ve had so many families come to me in these exact moments: overwhelmed, afraid, and unsure of what to do next. In this episode, I’m walking you through what actually happens when a power of attorney wasn’t signed in time—and what legal options you still have to help your loved one.
We’ll talk about how conservatorships work, what paperwork you need to start, and how to move quickly even in emergencies. This isn’t just legal education—it’s real talk for real life.
- What a power of attorney is—and why timing matters
- The legal difference between POA and conservatorship
- Real-life stories of families facing medical crises without legal authority
- How to get a capacity declaration from a doctor
- Step-by-step breakdown of the conservatorship process
- What documents to gather, who can help, and how to protect your parent fast
- Encouragement if you’re feeling scared, overwhelmed, or unsure
You didn’t fail your parent. You’re doing your best in an impossible moment—and I’m here to help you take the next right step.
