  • Is a power of attorney the same as a guardianship? What types of powers of attorney are there? What powers does a person with a guardianship have? What if my loved one is declared incapacitated and can no longer sign a power of attorney?
    It is important to know the difference between these documents and have the answers to these questions, especially if you or a loved one is suffering from a disease like Alzheimer's or dementia.
    Attorneys, Amber A. Thailing and Rachel A. Spaethe, discuss the differences between a power of attorney and guardianship, and walk you through the pros and cons of each.

    How do you determine capacity if you’re a lawyer and not a doctor? And isn’t it case by case I mean there could be one lawyer that says I think she has capacity then there’s another lawyer that says no she does not have capacity. There’s good days and bad days with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It seems like this is a loophole right here and this is why I personally think it’s best to get a guardianship or even conservatorship if you have somebody with capacity issues because you can’t be sure that you can trust everyone to understand what capacity the person in your care is .

    My mother has very little money and lives in an ALH. She brings in $3000 a month. The ALH cost $4000 per month. She keeps giving money to a brother that has never lived below his means. Now she is almost broke. As her durable POA, she won’t let me step in and stop it. I feel like she is being exploited but adult protective services says there is nothing I can do.

    Do the laws of when a POA "kicks in" depend on the state? (North Carolina) What if there is already a POA in place to act on the persons behalf if they become incapacitated and the person has a diagnosis of dementia, lives alone, makes very poor and dangerous decisions but the doctor states they won't declare the person incompetent simply because they "don't do that" and tell the POA they need to "deal with that" themselves? Even though there is already a POA in place that was made and signed while the person was still competent and they have since become incompetent and been given a diagnosis of dementia, wouldn't the doctor still be responsible for providing something so the POA can act, especially given the person is very elderly, lives out of state from family and is refusing help from others at this point? Is the only recourse to file a petition for guardianship with the court?

    My mom has severe dementia. I am her Power of Attorney for health and share Durable power of attorney for finances with my brother. My Dad passed away last year. She resides in a memory care assisted living facility. She has a Family Revocable Trust which states if she is incapacitated, then my brother will serve as trustee for the trust. She owns 2 properties. We would like to sell her 2 properties and place the cash from the sales of 2 properties back into the Family Revocable Trust. This trust pays Mom's bills. I have met with 2 attorneys. One said I had to assume guardianship. The other attorney said because we have a letter from her doctor, my Power of Attorney for healthcare and share Durable Power of Attorney with my brother, that should not be a problem. Please explain to me.

  • @heleneg525
    @heleneg525 Місяць тому

    Sometimes an individual's wishes change, even after they've made the power of attorney. Then, according to the law, it can be too late. Their's a chance that the power of attorney doesn't honor the individual's wishes, even if the individual's wishes change. Also, be very careful of naming a non-family member as your power of attorney; they can turn nasty on you and name you incapacitated, even if you simply have short-term memory problems.

    A Michigan social worker tried to force my mom to a specific professional Guardian after the woman found out she had money! It was a nightmare!
    I saw some news stories on UA-cam about guardian abuse, as well as the movie “I Care A Lot” and I recognized many of the same tactics that we experienced as they came after her assets with no less than 5 attorneys. No family should ever go through that!
