Your husband or one of his siblings need to take the initiative immediately and find a lawyer who specializes in elder care and have a durable power of attorney drawn ..(you will need fil with you)...

This is a must have!

If decisions are made...hard choices, etc....this gives the sibling, siblings the authority to do what is needed.

#15 is spot on! Power of Attorney. Unless you can get an attorney who knows what s/he is doing, you will not have access to medical personnel and medical information.

On the family end.....try to involve as many family members as possible to help bear the load that is about to come everyone's way. Appoint a leader and sort out who is willing to do what. There will be a lifetime of "stuff" to go through so choose wisely.

Many prayers!!!!
