I'm trying to find out how to go about getting the power of attorney over my 85 year old mother. She is rapidly deteriorating and I feel it is time that I need to do something.
Your mother can either give you a Durable Power of Attorney, or you can file a guardianship action. These documents should be prepared by an attorney. The alternative would be for your mother to go with you to her financial institutions and add you to her accounts as an authorized signer.
