Planning and Admin

When there are a lot of things to do it's easy to overlook something that would actually have been quite quick, but would have benefitted from being done sooner rather than later. Consider the following examples. Setting up a power of attorney must be done in the earliest stages of dementia or before, and makes it much easier to help your loved one manage their financial affairs and choose their care. A little time spent contingency planning can save a lot of rush and difficulty later on in an emergency situation. If you delay applying for benefits your loved one's entitled to you may not be able to get them backdated. Pet re-homing organisations often require this to be pre-arranged.
