I had power of attorney for my mother at the end of her life. Again, having discussed what she would want ahead of time made tough decisions easier.

Totally agree. In fact we got life insist for my husband the one with income after our first child was born when he was 21. At the time it seemed almost silly we were so young. Now at 46 and three kids at least something has been saved for a tragedy. We both have living wills and I bought a will kit. Is that good enough or do you really need a lawyer? My mom and brother are both ICU nurses and have/are working through Covid. Trust me if you didn’t think you needed to think about that before you definitely need to now. Think about all the people who are middle-age that never thought something like this would happen having to make these decisions?
