Power of Attorney
As Power of Attorney am I responsible for showing how I spent my mother's money caring for her?
I have taken care of my elderly mother for 6 years as her Power of Attorney for property and health care. Following her death, my siblings are fighting over the fact that I spent her monies caring for her. I was the only one who cared for her and do not feel I need to prove how I spent each dime.
What type of Power of Attorney is needed to allow someone to rent a home for me?
I Now Live In Houston, Texas and I Own A Home In Milton, Florida, that I need to rent. I have a friend there that will help me write the lease agreement, but I guess I need to give her limited Power of Attorney to act on my behalf. So, my question is, what form will work for me or what step should I take?
What can I do if I believe my sister is abusing her Power of Attorney over my mother?
My sister and mother both reside in Ozaukee County, WI. My sister has Power of Attorney for Health Care and all other matters (financial, etc.) for my mother, who is in an Alzheimer's group home. We are concerned that my sister is usurping her position and she refuses to add me (my mother's natural daughter) to the list of individuals who can get medical information about my mother. My question is whether I'm entitled to access about my mother's medical condition and if so, how can I enforce my right to receive this information.
Who can issue Power of Attorney for an incapacitated person?
My boyfriend of 22 years was severly injured on 27 February. He is paralzed and suffered a stroke and consciousness is still questionable he cannot speak or react to questions. In order to proceed with the power of attorney document, we need to know who can authorize power of attorney rights. The subject has children, all who are not good candidates for any fiduciary decisions. The subjects older brother would like to step in and give power of attorney to the subject's longtime (22 years) live-in girlfriend, what is possible in this scenario.
New Durable Power of Attorney Statute in Massachusetts
In regards to Chapter 201 B of the General Laws of MA, I am nearly done drafting a Uniform Durable Power of Attorney document for my Mom. My brother-in-law, an attorney, has provided guidance. He says several sections of Chapter 201 B were repealed and replaced with new wording in 2008.
1.) What is that new wording?
2.) What sections or text, specifically, does the new wording replace?
If we were to finalize/notarize our DPA before the new wording takes effect in July 2009, would our DPA be nullified in whole or in part by the new and revised wording?
