In this episode, I tackle one of the hardest situations families face: what happens when your parent still refuses to sign important legal documents. I explain why resistance does not always mean refusal, how to keep the conversation moving without creating conflict, and the critical difference between capacity and competence. You'll learn the warning signs that the window for legal planning may be closing and what steps to take before a crisis forces decisions into the hands of the court. This is an essential conversation for any family trying to balance patience, respect, and the reality of time.
