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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint.

Mostly Independent
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:
Section 402(a) of the Uniform Trust Code in my state (Massachusetts) says that a trust shall be created ONLY IF:the settlor [the grantor, person establishing the trust] has capacity to create a trust.
The Uniform Trust Code in my state does allow an agent acting under a power of attorney to have the powers to revoke, amend or distribute trust property in an existing trust, but only to the extent expressly authorized by the terms of the trust and the power of attorney documents. [Section 602(e)].
Consult with an attorney in your state. A Power of Attorney document must include certain powers if you are going to make transfers that would benefit you. If the document lacks the necessary powers, you will be creating serious problems if you go beyond your authority.
You may already have considered other significant issues. If your father needs nursing home care, any transfers you make with his assets will have an impact on whether Medicaid will pay for his care.
The concept of a Power of Attorney was conceived many years ago, to provide a way for those of us with modest means to give advance directions about our assets and property, without needing to pay the costs of establishing a trust instrument.
If the banking laws in your state allow you to set up accounts for your Dad so that the funds are TOD (Transferred on Death) or POD (Payable on Death) or jointly owned, you might accomplish the intent of probate avoidance.
If the Power of Attorney allows you to transfer real estate, you could make arrangements that avoid probate. But, again, you must consult an attorney in your state who can advise on real estate, tax and Medicaid laws.
A final thought you could bring to your attorney is the idea of a "pooled trust." Charitable institutions In my state have established pooled trusts for elderly and disabled clients. The pooled trust administrators have accepted the authority of a power of attorney to open an account in the pooled trust for beneficiaries who lack competence. Each pooled trust has administration fees and rules, but it might be an idea to consider.
