    EP 150 - The Truth About Medical POAs, Trustees, and Who Actually Makes Decisions

    When a senior’s health declines, families often assume they know who’s in charge — until a crisis hits and they realize they don’t. In this episosde, The Truth About Medical POAs, Trustees, and Who Actually Makes Decisions, Dale Corpus breaks down one of the most confusing (and emotionally charged) areas of senior care: legal authority vs. real-world decision-making. You’ll learn: The difference between a Medical Power of Attorney, Trustee, Financial POA, and healthcare proxy Why having documents doesn’t always mean someone can act What happens when siblings think they’re in charge — but legally aren’t Common mistakes families make during hospital stays, assisted living move-ins, and memory care transitions How unclear authority leads to delays, conflict, and costly care decisions What families should clarify before a crisis forces rushed choices This episode is especially important for adult children navigating hospital discharges, assisted living decisions, memory care placement, or end-of-life planning — where confusion around authority can derail everything. If you’ve ever heard: “I thought I was the POA…” “The trust should cover this, right?” “Why won’t the doctor talk to me?” This episode will bring clarity, confidence, and calm — before stress takes over.
