In March I wrote about the idea of establishing a Board of Advisors to help guide us through the elding years and keep us from scams (see "Getting Scammed", March 4, 2012). Here is a link to the New Old Age blog on the NY Times that discusses the similar concept of establishing a care committee to manage your care when there is no one else to watch out for your interests. It was written shortly after my post (I only just now found it), so obviously they copied my idea.

Embedded in the blog is a link to a law firm that has drafted a Care Committee Agreement. Here is the link:

If you can't find it, let me know. I have downloaded a copy.
I think it is a good idea. The trick will be finding the right responsible advisors.
