Hi As a second to the mention to change legal documents....Please be alert to doing this. Also: we were told when we moved my mother to a nursing home in MN to be sure to REGISTER HER TO VOTE!. This would be one way of establishing her as a RESIDENT of Minnesota if we needed some legal support in verifying this later. Also: We did need to get a new Power of Attorney in MN for durable affairs as well as medical affairs. HOWEVER...do not destroy the copies from the previous state (in our case Indiana)....we needed this copy three years later when my Mother's sister passed away and we needed to handle some estate matters for Mother in Indiana where she previously lived. Sorta like a new verse to Auld Lang Syne......make new papers, but keep the old!!!!!!! Rita Weeks 55/10
