Answered 5 years and 8 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
Check with the court to see whether there is such an order.  It seems unlikely that one would be granted without your being notified and given an opportunity to appear in court to argue against it.

Answered 6 years and 8 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
If your father has legal capacity to contract, he can sign a Durable [Financial] Power of Attorney.  With a lower legal capacity, he can sign a Medical Power of Attorney.  If he has a lower level of legal capacity, you may need to apply to the court for a conservatorship of his estate or a guardianship of his person.  Note that his spouse has priority.  You may want to consult a local elder lawyer, using the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org)...
