Dear Friend,

I want to tell you a story about two families—both faced with the same life-changing phone call…

“There’s been an incident. You need to get here now.”

But what happened next… couldn’t have been more different. Let me show you why.

Family One: Calm in the Storm

Karen was halfway through dinner when the call came. Her mother had suffered a stroke. Paramedics were already en route. By the time Karen reached the hospital, doctors needed fast answers: What were her mother’s wishes? Could they begin treatment? Who had authority to decide?

Karen didn’t panic.

Months earlier, her mother had sat down with Bascom Law to create a plan—not just a legal package, but a clear and thoughtful roadmap for moments exactly like this. Together, they talked through the “what-ifs,” the hard decisions, the family dynamics, and the things that really mattered. The result wasn’t just paperwork—it was peace of mind. Her mother walked away knowing her voice would be heard, her wishes would be honored, and her family wouldn’t be left scrambling in a crisis.

When the time came, Karen didn’t have to guess. She didn’t have to argue with doctors or sort through drawers. Everything was clear. Everyone knew what to do. And the only thing she needed to focus on… was being there for her mom.

Family Two: Lost in the Fog

An hour away, Tom’s family got the same kind of call.

His father had collapsed. He was unconscious, unresponsive, and being rushed to the ER. Tom arrived quickly—but ran headfirst into a wall of red tape.

No one had power of attorney.
There was no plan.
The hospital couldn’t legally share information, and decisions had to be delayed.

Then came the disagreements—siblings who didn’t see eye-to-eye, a frantic scramble to find any sort of legal documentation, and eventually a court petition to appoint someone—anyone—with authority to act.

But by then, the most important decisions had already passed them by. And Tom was left with guilt, frustration, and the burden of wondering whether they’d done the right thing.

The Difference? A Real Plan from Bascom Law
