durable power of attorney
if someone has durable power of
attorney does that mean that
person has control over the other
person and all their assests and if
the other person is in rehab doesn’
the person with the power of
attorney have the responisability to
pay all the otherones bills untoill
they return home to do so for them
selves?

if i have a last will and testament signs by myself, spouse, and notary do i nee
as i said my husband and i have a last will and testament for our home and all our belongings, i.e. assets – would i still need to have a durable power of attorney in order to avoid problems for my children and the people listed in my will – will it have to go to a trust before they can sell our things.

i am asking this just in case my husband and i are both deceased at the same time. thank you very much

Any alternatives to having to file for Guardianship on behalf of my father with
My elderly father, after a stroke and a hip fracture has had his dementia kick in full force, perhaps permanently. In the past, he has sidestepped my requests to execute a general or durable Power of Attorney always saying, it’s not time yet. I know! The fact is, he might need skilled nursing and other medical services from here on and does have adequate resources. As his closest next of kin, I need to get into his accounts to pay for those services short and perhaps long-term. Question: in his present capacity, is there any way that I can be declared or assume his power of attorney being his next of kin and sole estate beneficiary without the expense and time of filing for guardianship????

Thank you for your time and input.
