Asking a question on behalf of a caregiver without internet or email access. Her friend / neighbor has been diagnosed with dementia. Based on the description it sounds like early stage and may still have capacity to make decisions. The care recipient originally, signed a POA that gave control of her finances to her sister. Based on the description of the friend, the sister has not done a good job providing support and access to funds. The client is interested in making a change to her POA. What is the process and requirements to make a change to a POA?
Thanks!
Thank you Carol. You, Toni and the team are such an amazing resource.
the client can do a new power of attorney that revokes the old power of attorney. the client can appoint whoever she wants in the new document. As long as the client understands what she is doing, she can make a new power of attorney, even with the dementia diagnosis.
