How can I obtain a power of attorney from my father who has dementia?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Malissa Linn Walden (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Walden Legal Solutions, LLC
Powers of Attorney are given by a person to their agent. If one is incapacitated, he is no longer able to give up those powers. That means that your father would not be able to assign you as his agent under a Powers of Attorney. The only way you would be able to take care of his medical and financial decisions on his behalf would be through a Guardianship / Conservatorship. Since these are court actions, you may want to discuss the procedures with an attorney knowledgeable in this area.

May I deed property under mortgage to my sons while retaining responsibility for paying same?

Answered by attorney Theodore A. Speaker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Speaker Law Firm
Yes, but I would never keep the mortgage in my name. You are responsible for payment, but do not have a any legal rights to it. What happens if he dies and leaves the house to someone else? You still pay. Check with the Mortgage company to get their permission, before you do anything. They may accelerate the mortgage to be paid off. In short - do not do it.

Will has been change by POA what can we do

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Only your mother or, under court instructions, a guardian can change her Will.  However, agents under a POA frequently must sell things mentioned in the Will in order to pay for someone's care.  That is not hanging the Will.  However, if you have evidence tending to prove that assets were taken and hidden, please discuss this with a local probate attorney.
