I scrolled (albeit quickly) through all the responses and I'm not sure where you had the legal papers filed. If NOT in Florida...you really need to speak to an attorney here, locally. Laws vary state to state. We went to a seminar early in our time of living here and had a new will etc. drawn up. THEN the laws changed a bit a year or two ago so we went back. Good thing too as we'd thought we had everything needed and didn't so had that taken care of as well. The doctors and hospitals all need copies of your DNR or whatever it's called. You'll get asked about this at every juncture so it's good to get. A POA is needed so good to speak to an attorney to have those questions answered. We don't have a trust so maybe that's the difference. You'll not want to go into probate in FL as it will string all the legalities out over time.
