re; poa
My exhusband lives with me and is very ill.He worries that his kids and family members won't provide the funeral he want's. Being no longer married, we need to know what we can do to make sure i can legally take care of the arrangements the way he wants? I already have his health poa.

Re: re; poa
He could pre-pay for the arrangements at a local funeral home. Not much the heirs can do if the money's already gone. Also, he could make you executor and/or beneficiary in his will. He could also specify in the will the funeral arrangements he desires, and directing his executor to pay for those arrangements.
