Re: Living Wills
Assuming your mother is still physically and mentally able to create estate planning documents, she should consult directly with an attorney herself. She should try to find an attorney who would be willing to travel to her to assist her with these important issues.
In response to your question, she could have a family member assist in creating a holographic will. However, given the situation you describe, this is not the best way to proceed.
