DEAR AMY: My older sister is 75 and unmarried. ... She has no will, power of attorney, advance medical directive, or burial or cremation instructions. ...
She has three grown children in their 50s. I am eight years younger than she.When I visited the family a few months ago for her 75th birthday party, my niece expressed concern to me that my sister has made no provisions for death or unexpected illness.
I had hoped that sharing such information might nudge her to do similar planning. No luck. My niece is concerned that she and her siblings will be left holding the bag to make critical medical and other decisions for their mother without any idea of what she would want, and that the three siblings might not agree.
My home state has health care proxy forms and very easy to understand instructions on the state’s government website. A directive can be simply worded or very detailed. You will need two witnesses but it is not necessary to have it notarized. My answer is assuming that your grandmother’s four husbands are not buried in this particular family plot.
