My mom has a durable POA with a springing clause...that means we have to have 2 doctor signatures stating that mom is incapable of taking care of herself. We have 3 letters. Only one is notarized. I can’t tell if they have to be notarized or not. Lawyer not much help. We have no letter stating that we have POA now. I guess I need to scan in the whole POA (which is about 40 pages) and the 2 letters and email it to whomever it is I’m dealing with. Has anyone ever dealt with this type of POA? Does it work?
When step Dad went into the hospital, Mum went to the lawyer who drew up the POAs, Representative Agreements etc, he created another document, which I did not see that "Sprang" the POA and RA.
Luckily Mum did not need to get two doctors to sign off, there was no doubt that he was not going to live very long.
Mum used that document with the banks, CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) etc.
She is in memory care now. The guardianship allowed us to do.
