They came in for wills, DPAs, Health Care DPAs and Health Care directives. I have included language in the will that will treat the survivor as predeceased if they are no longer together at the first death, anticipating they may not get around to redoing the will. I’m thinking I should do the same in the DPAs. Does anyone have any suggested language they would be willing to share?
