When a court decides who acts for you, it limits that authority, because courts try to protect you, even when you need more than that. And it is public record. All of your neighbors can see what is going on and who gets what. Name your own person, on your own terms, and there is no court case, no public record. Everything stays within the family.
What I Said
From my September 10 Parents Edition workshop at the Cambria Hotel in Calabasas, lightly edited for readability.
Court will decide who will receive that authority, and often that authority is... because courts try to protect you, the authority is limited, but you may need more. And it is public record. All of your neighbors will see what's going on, and who gets what, and, you know, what's there. Versus you can name who will act for you, on what terms, and what kind of powers you're giving to them.
There's no public record, there's no court case, everything is done within family.
