Pam asked:


My mother just had a heart attack and her power of attorney called me and suggested that she go to a nursing home. If I want her to come and stay with me and she wants to come and stay with me, can the power of attorney stop it? Thanks for any help in this matter?

      Is the Power of Attorney the Conservator or just have Power of Attorney privileges? If that person has only Power of attorney she has no court order rights to decide anything for your mother,only a Conservator can decide for your mother.
      Go to the library and look under Elderly Care for valuable info that can help you understand how to manage your mother’s care. Good Luck

      She can revoke the power of attorney and give it to you. It has to be in writing and notarized. I would have it witnessed and the witness signature notarized as well, myself.

      The POA can only make decisions for your mom if she is mentally incapacitated and can’t make her own decisions. If she is still mentally capable the POA can’t make her do anything and she can change her POA if she wants to.
