The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Founder, Victoria L Collier, Discusses How Family Caregivers Can Live Without Regret

Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier highlights the importance of considering all aspects before becoming a caregiver for a loved one to avoid regrets in the future.

DECATUR, GA, April 11, 2019: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “Become A Caregiver With No Regrets.” Ms. Collier addresses the need for caregivers to be comfortable with their role.

Collier states, “Becoming a caregiver is a big commitment.” She elaborates, “We often take on the role of being our parents’ caregivers, sometimes by default and other times consciously and willingly. When you do become a caregiver, whether for a parent, a friend, relative or other loved one, it’s important to understand that you are also becoming the voice for that person.” Collier points out, “You must understand the wishes of the one you are caring for before you can help make important decisions for them. You need to know what they want or don’t want as they approach the end of life.”

“When you consider that our healthcare system is designed to treat or fix,” says Collier, “you may discover that when people get older they may not be treatable or fixable. They may not want to undergo a series of tests that might lead to surgery, especially when they may be too fragile to survive a surgical procedure.”
