It's always a wise thing to be prepared just in case. I've made arrangements for my daughter to get EVERYTHING and that includes my cats. She has a cat of her own and she promised me that she would take very good care of mine if need be. It is a somber thought, but so necessary. It was really hard for me to make all these kinds of arrangements with my Mom who is 81. The Power of Attorney sure has come in handy and so it will for my daughter also.
