Power of Attorney

My mother lives in NYCHA and they placed a health care proxy on her illegally--how can she have it removed? She did not know they had done this to her and can I, her daughter, become POA for her?

I'm the representative payee for my best friend. On 8/21/09 she was in a bad car wreck and as of today she is in ICU. She has no family, husband, kids nobody but me. Now all of a sudden the Caseworker at the hospital appointed power of attorney to these 2 ladies where she used to stay at a half way house over a year ago. My friend doesn't get along with these ladies anymore. As a matter of fact my friend has all of the papers ready to be filed on these 2 ladies for a court case (re: a loan they never paid back). Now I go to the hospital today and now make a code up since I don't know the code they won't let me see her anymore. The 2 ladies won't even return my phone calls. I don't even know these ladies - never met them before.

My wife is disabled and I have POA over her affairs. I need to change the designated backup POA person. How do I do this?

My fiancee' is working over in Iraq and he wants me to purchase a home for us in Washington. He has appointed me as his power of attorney. Can i purchase a home in his name, without him being present?

My mother has Alzhiemers and was unable to have contaract surgery due to her inability to remember what she was to have done. She does have a durable POA w/ healthcare provisions prepared by a lawyer and signed by my mother. In that document it requires a her primary physician to write an affidavit that she has been personally been examined and that she is unable to manage her property. Is there a specific form that the Dr needs to fill out or is an letter stating the above sufficient? And does that document need to be notorized?
