Most families don’t think about these questions until they’re forced to.
But in moments of illness, hospitalization, or sudden change, clarity matters more than intention.
Here are three questions every adult child should be able to answer:
1️⃣ Where are your parents’ passwords stored?
Bank accounts, email, utilities, medical portals—access matters when time is tight.
2️⃣ Do they have legal documents, and where are they?
Power of attorney, healthcare directives, wills. Knowing who and where saves precious time.
3️⃣ Who can make decisions if they can’t?
Medical. Financial. Personal. This needs to be clear—before it’s urgent.
These aren’t easy conversations.
But they are loving ones.
Following this page means more guidance like this: calm, practical, and centered on dignity and planning.
