Answer to this week's Trivia:
The correct answer is B. Funeral services cannot start without the legal next of kin giving permission. In fact, the legal next of kin is the person who begins the process when someone passes away, including choosing the funeral home. It doesn't matter who has the insurance policies or the money; nothing can move forward until the legal next of kin is involved. Ideally, the person paying and the legal next of kin will agree. Remember, a Power of Attorney has no authority once a person has died.
