Medical Power of Attorney and Other Informational Help

(((((LyricandToxic))))) Hey hon! I am very sorry to hear of Toxic's health issues.

Christie and I have had POA and Medical POA and Living Will for a few years now. There are several versions on line ( and I am sorry I can't recall which ones we downloaded), that are valid in VA once notarized.

VA also recognizes a holographic will ( handwritten and notarized) as being valid as long as it is the most recently documented will. Documents like this can be notarized at just about any bank. I usually get at least two witnesses ( generally a secretary or cashier on hand).

You can go to a lawyer and if you have a great many assets or folks who might create issue, it may be a good idea. There are quite the few things you can do without lawyers, however.

Do let us know if we can help with anything. We love you!

Great words of experience here. Thanks folks!
