AGING SERVICES SUMMARY OF ELIGIBILITY
A number of services are available to individuals through a variety of funding sources. These
sources include funding under the Older American Act, state general revenue, dedicated state
taxes, Medicaid, and individual and community donations.
The following services are available through the Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). Eligibility
for these services is determined by those offices. In most cases, clients must be 60 or older
(unless otherwise identified.)
Priority consideration is given to applicants in greatest economic and social need. A co-payment
is not required from individuals who receive these services; however, clients are encouraged
to donate if they are able.
Eligibility and payment criteria may change as state and federal regulations are amended or
renewed. For the most current information, consult the local AAA or call the Division of
Aging and Adult Services.

guardianship - power of attorney - living will - last will & testament
GUARDIANSHIP
Guardianship is a legal procedure whereby a Probate Court appoints a “guardian” to act on
behalf of an “incapacitated person” or ward. An incapacitated person is one who is impaired
by reason of a disability. Such a disability may be mental or physical illness, drug or alcohol
dependence, or being a minor. The person is considered incapacitated when they lack the
ability to make essential decisions concerning their health or safety, or to manage their property.
Any person may file a petition for the appointment of himself or some other qualified person
as guardian of an incapacitated person. The petition must include, among other things, the
name and address of the incapacitated person and of the person seeking the appointment, the
nature of the incapacity, a description of the property owned by the incapacitated person and
its value, the reason the appointment is sought, the type and scope of guardianship requested,
and the interest of the petitioner in the appointment. An evaluation of the incapacitated
person by a doctor or other qualified professional will be required by the Court prior to the
determination of incapacity.
There are two basic types of guardianship:
• Guardianship of the person
• Guardianship of the estate
The court may appoint a guardian to serve in either or both capacities and may limit the
powers and duties of the guardian, depending on the circumstances.
A guardian of the person is appointed by the Court to oversee the care and maintenance of
the incapacitated person. This type of guardianship is particularly useful when a person is
unable to make decisions concerning health care due to a disabling disease.
A guardian of the estate is appointed by the Court to protect and preserve an incapacitated
person’s property, to invest it, and to use it for the benefit of the incapacitated person. In this
type of guardianship, the guardian must make periodic accountings to the Court for all assets
and how those assets are used. Likewise, the Court may require that the guardian give a bond
to assure that the affairs of the incapacitated person are properly administered.
Arkansas law also provides for the appointment of a “temporary” guardian in certain
instances. Such a guardian may be appointed when there is imminent danger to the life or
health of an incapacitated person or where his property is subject to loss, damage or waste
due to the person’s incapacity. A temporary guardianship is of short duration, no more than
90 days.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives another person, the attorney-infact, the right to do certain things for the maker, or principal of the Power of Attorney. A
Power of Attorney can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. It can be written to
encompass a broad array of areas, or it can be limited to cover certain acts. This is an important
distinction between a General and a Durable Power of Attorney that should be kept in mind.
A General Power of Attorney can only be used when the principal is competent. A Durable
Power of Attorney is needed in order for the attorney-in-fact to act for an incapacitated
person. It is important that the principal knows this distinction and that he/she chooses the one
that best meets their current or future needs. Another important item to keep in mind is that the
principal must be competent when they sign the Power of Attorney. They must understand the
nature and extent of the power of attorney when they sign the document.
The Health Care Power of Attorney is a separate power of attorney that specifically addresses
medical issues. A Durable Power of Attorney can be drafted to encompass medical issues;
however, medical professionals may be hesitant to honor the attorney-in-fact’s instructions.
They often feel more comfortable honoring those instructions when the attorney-in-fact presents
a Health Care Power of Attorney. If the principal foresees needing another individual to
make health care decisions for him/her, it would be beneficial to execute a separate Health
Care Power of Attorney.
LIVING WILL
A Living Will reflects an individual’s desire as to the termination of life-prolonging treatment or
medical procedure when they have been diagnosed as terminally ill or permanently unconscious.
This document is known as an "advance health care directive". The Living Will is a legally
enforceable method of ensuring his/her wishes are honored in certain situations. If a person
becomes unable to understand or unable to communicate with his/her doctors, the Living
Will becomes active. A person may also designate a person to make specific treatment decisions
as they arise. It is always a good idea to make sure that your primary care physician maintains
a copy of this document in your medical records.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Every one of legal age that has assets, such as a house or a savings account, should have a
will. A well-drafted will ensures that a person’s wishes, regarding their personal and real
property, will be carried out at the time of their death. This can help alleviate many worries
for all parties involved. With or without a will, an estate will most likely be probated.
However, if a person dies without a will, the Court process will be much more involved and
time consuming. It is also recommended that married couples not have a joint will, but rather
that each spouse have his or her own will. Joint wills tend to complicate matters and delay
the process. Wills should also be reviewed at least every two years to ensure that no major
changes need to be made, such as the death of a beneficiary. It is also important that the person
tell at least one person where they keep their will so that they will be able to locate the original;
a copy of a will is typically non-binding in a Court of law.
