My 87 yr old mother who has dementia is having a total knee replacement April 2. The family thought all legal matters were handled and that 2 of my sisters BOTH had DPOA. Come to find out only 1 sister has it, and she is out of the country at this time. My father also has dementia and CHF, so he is unable to handle things, should there be a problem. A living will and a trust was done about 30 yrs ago and no info on the attorney that originally drew up the papers. Any suggestions?? We live in Ohio. Thank you
Hope this helps.
While an option, I would advise against more than one person being the durable POA.
BTW, do you have medical POA for your parents? If not, this is a good time to get that done also.
