I also got a DURABLE Power of Attorney and a Healthcare Power of Attorney. A durable POA gives the appointed person the right to make financial decisions even if you become incapacitated. You can just go online and get forms from a number of free websites. One note, after you fill it out, it is better to pay a notary to notarize it. Then, take it to any financial institution, such as your bank, so that your appointed person can be put on the account. You can also have the person take the POA once you've left and get them added, but it's easier to do it in person so no questions arise. My Healthcare POA also gave my Dad or Mom permission to make medical decisions. Notarize this too. I have made lists of things I need to bring to staging with me, and there are about nine that I can think of right now. Anyways, it's less than a month away. People kept asking me, "are you excited?" I actually wasn't really excited, just looking forward to it, until this Monday, when we got our email for staging. I kept wondering when I would get it or if I would have to call, but nope, they sent it. I then called SATO Travel and booked my flight to Philly for staging. I am excited that I will get to stay a night with my Aunt and Uncle the night before staging! Anyways, I need to some more prep work and get a few more things, but I am mostly done!
Here is my packing list. However, I must make a few notes. I brought some of this stuff because it seemed like it might be useful. Later on I will post or add onto this post about what I should and shouldn't have brought.
