Information
Anyone can find themselves in a situation due to accident, illness, or age where they can no longer answer important questions themselves.
In this case, you should make arrangements with your relative for a potential caregiving situation.
The links below to current brochures and counseling services are intended to help you orient yourself and answer any questions you may have.
The berufundfamilie Service GmbH provides us, as the certificate holder of the "audit familiengerechte hochschule," with a very comprehensive emergency folder (Notfallmappe; see the MHH organizational manual). This emergency folder can be filled out on a computer or by hand and gives you and your relatives a complete overview of the most important personal documents for emergencies. You should ensure it is stored in an easily accessible location.
For quick access, here you will find a form for a power of attorney and text templates for a living will (BMJ) in "Word format" (german version only: Kontovollmacht; Textbausteine).
