[QUOTE="Lil, post: 642744, member: 17309"] The problem I see with a POA, is that it is something [I]she [/I]has to grant to [I]you[/I]. If she doesn't want you to have power of attorney, she can flatly refuse to sign it and she can take it away at any time by notifying people that she has revoked it. It gives you the authority to manage her affairs, but does not stop her from managing her own affairs and ignoring you. You have no actual authority over her. For instance, I had POA for my father. I used it to sell his car. He couldn't make that sale invalid and make the guy give the car back, but if he'd not wanted it to happen, he could have stopped me by revoking the POA, and he could have done anything he wanted without my approval too. It sounds to me like you really need to talk to an attorney in your state that handles probate matters and guardianship. [/QUOTE]
