    Would you benefit from your Cousin acting as your appointee, if she is willing?

    It seems like she already handles most things for you, making it official wouldn't be a bad thing.

    It doesn't matter that she gets benefits herself.

    If you click on the link I gave (purple text) there are instructions on how to set this up.
