]]> Comment on Are You Planning On Dying or Living? by Elaine Renoire http://deathslittleinstructionbook.wordpress.com/2009/08/07/are-you-planning-on-dying-or-living/#comment-82 Elaine Renoire Sun, 09 Aug 2009 01:59:09 +0000 http://deathslittleinstructionbook.wordpress.com/?p=162#comment-82 Thank you for the article and the urging that people should execute a durable power of attorney. Just one thing, though. What happens when people do their living and estate planning just as you've suggested but when they become incapacitated, a judge rolls over their executed advance directives and expressed wishes in favor of a conservatorship? It's happening across this country and the resulting unlawful and abusive conservatorship is destroying lives and bank accounts.

Yours, Elaine Renoire NASGA Thank you for the article and the urging that people should execute a durable power of attorney.
