A Wake-Up Call: Don't Leave Your Legacy to Chance
A medical emergency with Jesse's mother reveals an unsettling truth: most families don't know each other's wishes for end-of-life care or who's authorized to make decisions when someone can't speak for themselves.
• Advanced directives allow you to make your own decisions in advance rather than burdening others with making them for you
• The designated power of attorney doesn't make decisions but ensures your documented wishes are carried out
• Everyone in the family should know what's in the directives to prevent conflict during crisis
• Documents should be regularly updated as your situation and wishes change over time
• Keep copies accessible—not just in safe deposit boxes or with attorneys
• Advanced directives differ from wills, focusing specifically on medical decisions
• Having these conversations brings relief once completed, even though they may be difficult to start
• The Farmer's Greatest Asset Workbook helps organize this information in one accessible place
