More details to this question:
Probably you have an experience with case like ours or know someone to recommend. We have a pending hearing in California about my husband public guardianship. It was very aggressive and I have a valid DPOA that judge can't cancel at the moment. They are didn't make any decisions about my husband capacity and this took from us 5 months and a lot of money. Also we have a difficulties with Family Trust. Now we would like to move in Puerto Rico. How can we change an attorney, change a jurisdiction , make a normal conservatorship to not have a persecution from CA? Does court will stop if my husband and me will change a place to live? Nobody can explain us why we can't do it. We need a lawyer who is familiar with two states law. Thank you, Maria

Your DPOA only relates to financial matters. It does not give you power to move your husband if he is not competent to make his own decisions. I know it's very frustrating that conservatorships take so very long. It puts everyone's lives on hold. Unfortunately, our courts are very short-staffed. They're doing the best they can. I strongly urge you not to move your husband out of state without permission from the Public Guardian's office or the court.
