Since I was almost hospitalized in the psych hospital again last month, I looked into getting a Psychiatric Advance Health Care Directive so that I could have my Dad or my Sister act as my agent if I am deemed unable to make decisions about my care. So I contacted a lawyer and told her what I wanted. She asked for $350 up front via Zelle so I sent it to her. Then I sent her the requested information. A few hours later, I get a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances. I was like, what's this? This isn't what I was expecting. It didn't have anything in there about health care or psychiatric care. So I replied to the woman and was like, um, I don't think this is what I requested. I told her I was heading to bed for the night and if she had questions about what I wanted we could talk in the morning. When I got up in the morning, I checked my email on the phone and there was an Advance Health Care Directive that covers medical and psychiatric stuff. With nothing filled out. I probably could have saved myself the $350 and found it online somewhere. Although finding one that was CA specific might have been a bit harder but anyway, so now I have that to fill out. But then I was wondering about the financial one and trying to figure out if I needed that one. So I am asking several people that I know and trust what they think. The lawyer lady said I needed it. So complicated. I just wanted someone to be able to make decisions for me if I am in the psych hospital and they don't think I can take care of myself. Now I have like 42 pages of a Health Care Directive and 20 something pages of a financial directive. I am in way over my head.
