Your family should be involved; however, providing them direction is essential. With an Elder law plan in place, the grief and stress on the family will be reduced. This is helpful because certain parts of personalities in your family usually are exacerbated or worsened during these times of stress, which leads to tension and disharmony. We suggest having a family care meeting where you invite the important members of the family, especially those designated in your documents. During this meeting, it is necessary to have the three keys; good communication, transparency, and respect. There should be no hidden agendas or stonewalling, and everyone’s voices should be heard. At the meeting, all can be explained, and hopefully, this prevents any future concerns for you and your family. This is the best way to have family harmony and avoid harm.
