MY MOTHER IS VERY ILL. RIGHT NOW I AM TRYING TO WORK ARRANGEMENTS WITH CREDITORS TO CATCH UP ON HER BILLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PAID. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO GET A POWER OF ATTORNEY OR LIVING WILL. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE TO HELP WITH HER AFFAIRS BUT NOT TAKE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON WHEN SHE PASSES?

You should have both. the durable general power of attorney gives you authority to control her finances. The healthcare power of attorney/livingwill allows you to assist with medical decisions. You can find a form healthcare power here. You should retain an attorney to assist with the other POA. We can do that for you if you'd like.
