My father has Alzheimer's and his condition is getting progressively worse. We're discussing power of attorney so I can handle his medical situations as they arise as well as his finances: making sure his bills are taken care of, etc. Which form would I use? Thank you.

[bellaiba]

My mother has a property and she needs me to file an eviction notice wich would be the best Power of attorney document to use?Thank you

[ashleybritt-martin]

So, question. My boyfriend wants me to have POA over him for any and all medical decisions even while indisposed, as well as all finances...same, including while indisposed. Is there 1 for that, or can he do 2 different POA's to the same person and they not cancel each other out? This is for Ohio, if that helps?

[charlesromney]

Do I need a Financial POA and Healthcare POA for my spouse and for my daughter in case that my wife pass before me?

[guyincogneto]

If I already have full power of attorney and wish to add a step sibling on for medical poa, is there a specific form for that, since i'm guessing just copying off my poa and writing in, "I hereby authorize for medical", isn't going to work.

Couple of questions is "limited power of attorney" and "power of attorney for property" the same? and; if the principal is on jail can he make a "power of attorney for property" for his son who is 20 years old?

[nidasalvador]

[ATLGETREADYME]

Can someone gain power of over a principal’’s intellectual property if the is incarcerated?

[marshalkrieg]

I have a friend who is homeless. I have known him for 28 years. He is a super miser- he has almost a million dollars in an annuity fund. He is a severe alcoholic . I think durable power of attorney is what I should get for this case, but can I make medical decisions with that as well ( he goes to the ER at least once a week, his arthritis is so bad he cannot walk).

[thatwickedsmahttraumachick]

I am my mothers power of attorney. She wants to make a will.
if I do not sign off on the will is it valid?

She is insisting on leaving my special needs sister money but then she’ll lose her benefits. She won’t listen to me!

[suesue]

why is a court appointed conservator expensive?

[big-d]

Hmm? What about for a drug addiction adult child?
Our daughter has overdosed several times this year? The times we have found her unconscious we call the ambulance and taken the the hospital? But sometimes she comes too enough to refuse to go!! We want one so she can't refuse treatment?

[Medietos]

In Sweden we have, apart rom guardianship, sth called Good Man. Is that the same as Power of attorney? The principal keeps his legal rights and the Good Man shall do only what the principal decides and they agree upon. In practice, it is being abused, they act as though they had the roght to decide, more like a guadian. Then we have "Fullmakt", which mans the actor can sign documents agrred upon with the principal, as well as get and give information for him. Which of these is POA please? Or do you have only one term and role for both? I mean, does PO A do both jobs?

[aliciahill]

In Texas, my mothers bank required a durable power of attorney

[rickwill]

Do I need an attorney to get a power of attorney?
