If they have a bank account full of money and they die, if you don't have POA...good luck emptying the account.

If they're sick or have health issues and can't speak for themselves, good luck talking to the doctors or getting info or making decisions without a medical POA.

POA
Advance Directive

You can pay medical bills, close bank accounts...have health care decisions made clearly and be in charge and talk to doctors on their behalf.

POA ends at death
you need to have you name on the account before the parent dies.
