[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 630243, member: 1514"] COM, something you wrote about how hard it can be even to get an elderly adult declared incompetent made me remember something. Most folks here know that I ended up having to take care of my mother when she got alzheimer's. By the time I had to get involved she was pretty far gone but it would have been a very long and hard road to go through the court system to get me appointed. Not only that, the courts get all up in your business. My mom had a lawyer that she had been using for years...maybe I should say using and abusing...lol. He knew I was the only child and that I was the only one available so he probably stepped a bit outside the lines to get me appointed POA. We took my mom into his office one day and we both knew she didnt have a clue why she was there but he got her to tell him I was her daughter and that was all it took. He had already drawn up the POA and he had her sign it. He gave her some lame excuse about what she was signing and it was all over. She was far enough gone that she would have never understood. But for one brief moment in time she recognized me...lol [/QUOTE]
