  1. Representation Agreement

In cases where the older adult may have diminished capacity and cannot make a Power of Attorney, they may still be capable of making a Representation Agreement. This type of agreement provides a designated individual with authority that can include minor and major health care; personal care and living arrangements; legal affairs; and routine management of financial affairs. A Notary Public can create this agreement.

  1. Set up a joint bank account

A joint bank account for a senior and a trusted family member provides a second set of eyes monitoring for any suspicious transactions, such as large cash withdrawals that could occur as a result of a scam or fraud.
