What is the name of your state? NY
My partner and I are unmarried (as of now) but share an apartment. Due to family issues, we both want to make sure that the other has right to make decisions regarding health (neither of us want to be kept alive on machines, etc.) He also has a safe deposit box which is only in his name, and would like me to be able to get into it in the event of his death. Would a living will and Power of Attorney or Durable Power of Attorney (I'm not sure what the difference is) cover these issues?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J.
