What legal documents should my loved one have in place before entering a nursing home?
All adults should strongly consider making certain decisions before a crisis hits. Executing a Financial Power of Attorney and Advance Directives, including a Living Will and Do Not Resuscitate Order, enable the competent adult to direct what care he or she may want in the future. If your loved one is not mentally capable of executing these documents, Oklahoma law offers other legal remedies that may enable you to ensure that his wishes are met. Making and prepaying for burial arrangements is helpful as well.
