POA/Power of Attorney is very important to allow you to make medical and financial decisions when Mom or Dad can no longer make them for themselves. If no one has POA, and Mom/Dad is still capable of making decisions and signing legal papers, then it is still not too late to obtain it. Consult with an Elder Law (preferably) or Family attorney if there are considerable assets, real estate, etc. For more simple estates or in times of urgency, look at generic online forms like the link below that take you to forms on the State of Texas website.

I do have some lower-cost options depending on the level of care and attention your loved one needs. Once we talk, we may discover some funding sources that you are not aware of. I can also email you some information related to Medicare and Medicaid.
