Estate planning is sometimes described as something you do for your children. However, couples without children need it more, not less.

There is also the question of who makes decisions for you, since the default assumption of an adult child simply is not there.

If you are the one paying Mom's bills, sitting in on Dad's appointments, or fielding calls from the pharmacy, you are already the caregiver.

What you may not have is the legal authority to go with the job. Without a financial power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, and a HIPAA authorization, banks and doctors may not be able to talk to you at all.
