My dad recently passed away. Mom still living. they have a poa, healthcare poa and a will. the same person is over everything, including executor. she has also been negligent in their care and financial decisions and not has not yet probated my dads estate. how do i know if its the right attorney for the job?
Scroll down to the bottom of this screen to the large blue box, on your left side you will see ELDER LAW ATTORNEYS.... click on that.... you can search for an Elder Law Attorney in your area. I found the one I am using from that search site and she is outstanding, easy to understand.
As for your Mom's POA, who is the person assigned to the POA? If you feel your Mom isn't getting the best advice or care, and if Mom is of clear mind, your Mom can change the POA and Executor to someone else. Sometimes elders will go back to the original attorney who drew up the Will decades ago, before Elder Law became a specialty practice.
