I also need to become power of attorney...She is slowly getting dementia...although I am not sure if its from the drinking because while sober she is sharp. I don't know where to start...She had to children but one is not really in her life so she plans on leaving home to me....What are the options she has or best way to go about?
You'll want to hire an estate planning attorney to gather information, assess her capacity, determine her wishes, and draft the documents. Should take about a week.
