So I'm having a slight bit of anxiety over setting myself up to be my fathers POA and I'm not sure why? I think it may be because I'm afraid of doing something wrong or getting something wrong and screwing it up for my father. I can't afford an attorney so I'm relying on information that I can gather myself and the advice of the senior living facility my father is in. And I know that this isn't as complicated as my brain wants to believe it is. Once I get the paper work all done, I'll have my father add me to his bank account and have him alert his doctor to inform me on his health, and when the time comes, help make decisions for him. But something deep inside of me just keeps telling me that I'm going to screw this up somehow. That I'm going to somehow make things worse for him by not getting the right paper work or having the right signatures. It all sounds silly in my head. I know people who are much less equipped mentally than I am who set all of this up and handle it with little issue. So why do I feel like I'm going to fuck it up?
