You take care of them.

We’ll take care of you.

When a person loses capacity to make decisions due to a stroke, coma, or other illness, his or her Power of Attorney documents take effect. If the person did not have Power of Attorney documents prior to incapacity, loved ones will likely need to seek guardianship and conservatorship through the probate court.

Similarly, for children under 18 whose parents (or guardians) pass away, a loved one will need to seek guardianship. They will also need a conservatorship established unless the parents created and funded a living trust before passing.
