The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Within the last month we have heard from three different families in the midst of full meltdown because a diagnosed victim had not assigned power of attorney to a trusted family member before passing away. Without a will, there is not very much we can do to help a family after a mesothelioma victim succumbs to this rare disease. To ensure that victims and families have the most up-to-date information on how to establish a power of attorney, we have found a useful article from CNN Money.
"Don't be foolhardy in thinking that you'll be fine without power of attorney. Our experience in dealing with the aftermath of families who decided to forgo establishing a will tells us that too many victims succumb to mesothelioma and leave an enormous headache on the unprepared family. Another thing we see all too often is little research done on finding the very best mesothelioma compensation attorneys to advance a compensation claim. The result is usually the same: losing out on possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation because they hired a local personal injury attorney who may or may not have ever dealt with a claim like this.
"One of the first questions we ask families in this situation is, 'Who is a very trusted family member that is willing and able to handle being the power of attorney?' Typically it ends up being the victim's wife, or their adult son/daughter."
