Power of Attorney
How Do I Resign as Agent Under a Power of Attorney?
I have been appointed statutory durable power of attorney by my mother. I have been acting as her agent for nearly a year now. She is under hospice care and requires 24 hour nurse care which is being paid for by her income and savings. The savings will run out soon forcing me to sell her home to pay for the care. As a result I am now between a rock and a hard place because the house deed is in the name of her trust and she named my Aunt co-trustee of that trust (I have to include my Aunt in all transactions according to my title company). I know that does't sound like a problem yet but the problem is my Aunt has been creating a nightmare for me as I try to sell her (my mom's) house and because my mom is afraid of losing her relationship with my Aunt she will not change any of her estate planning papers to give me the ability to act in her behalf. I want to resign from being the POA. The POA paperwork says my Aunt is next in line to be appointed should I resign so I am ready to let her have it all. This headache is not worth it. Is there a form or letter and/or proceedure for my state that I must follow to resign? Thank you for all your help and/or suggestions!

How Do I Prevent a Relative From Abusing a Power of Attorney?
My sister in law has cancer and wont be around much longer, she has 2 kids from a previous marriage and is married to my brother who had a major brain injury 4 years ago and is disabled. We suspect she has signed over power of attorney for my brother to her son (brothers step son) We suspect she had him sign a document which allowed this but no one in our family was made aware. We have been told there is a $100,000 dollar life insurance policy which would go to my brothers step son, and he would manage my brothers finances. Our fear is we wont have any say in my brothers care and my brother isn't able to take care of himself. What options do we have? Also we live in MN and they are thinking about moving to IA which where the step son lives.
What effect does a power of attorney have on other family members' ability to make decisions?
My MOM is 88 yrs old and while at a skilled nursing facility for rehab for a broken shoulder. She was deemed incompetent and I signed a document that allows me her daughter to make health decisions on her behalf. We live in the state of Florida. How does this effect her other children if they are all talk and no action, meaning they want a say but are not willing to put in the time and effort.
What State's Form Should be Used for a Power of Attorney?
My mother lives in New Mexico and own real estate in Texas. She is 84 years old and wants me to take over selling her house in Texas and I live in Dallas, TX. Will a durable Power of Attorney be the form I need? She wants me to have business and medical Power of Attorney to conduct her affairs. Since she is a resident of New Mexico will a form from the state of New Mexico handle business and medical decisions in Texas? Please advise the correct POA and do I need to only get the form in New Mexico or do I need to get forms for Texas and New Mexico? Thanks?
