Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I am his enduring POA and We have a copy of his will already but we need to know if any codicils were entered which we did not know about. not expected to live much longer
Your Enduring Power of Attorney will cease on your father's death. After that, immediately after that, his affairs become the responsibility of the executor(s) of his estate, who may or may not include you.
If you are the executor you should have been told and you should know who is keeping the document safe. If it isn't at your father's home among his papers, did he have a lawyer?
I apologise: re-reading my reply, I realise that I focused on the question and completely overlooked that I was addressing a person whose father is gravely ill and expected to pass away. Please accept my apologies, and my wishes for this time to go gently with you and your family.
I also hope your father passes without pain. After he passes, take some time to compose yourself, then you can start focusing on the will and his estate,if you're the executor.
I too offer sympathy for your situation, and hope that your father's last days are peaceful, and that you are able to say your final goodbyes.
As to any Codicils, there are a few options:
1. Look at the paper on which the Will is printed. Assuming it was prepared by an attorney, it might be on what used to be known as pleading paper, with the left margin line including identification of the legal firm. If this is the situation, contact them. They'll know if any Codicils were prepared.
Decades ago, attorneys used to "blue back" wills and codicils. These thicker pieces of blue paper had identification names of the law firms of the attorney who prepared the documents.
2. If your state requires filing of Wills prior to death, contact the local county office, find out which department handles filing of wills and codicils, and ask them.
3. I'll mention this anyway but assume you've already done this, and that's to search any lock boxes, safes, or files or cabinets where your father kept his legal papers.
4. Lastly, contact whoever is named as Personal Representative, Executrix or Executor under the Will and ask them if they're aware of any Codicils. Ideally, they would have copies of documents that they would be administering.
