I am the sole Caregiver for my husband. He is 87 years old and suffering from Parkinson's disease with Dementia. I currently have 2 POA's, a Health care POA and a Mental POA. Sooooo, do I also need a DPOA?
We have been married for 35 years, I am Seariously considering placing him in a group home . He is getting to be more than I can handle.
Anyone else been in this situation??
The non durable POAs are only for a specific time frame. Lets say u had property in another state where one of ur children live. You wanted to sell it but couldn't be there. You assign ur child as POA to set up the sale and sign papers when its sold. Once that is done, the POA is no longer in effect.
I haven't heard of a mental POA, either. You should have one for financial, the other for medical. A durable POA would/should cover both. Or are you co-owner on his accounts? Did he sign a financial POA to someone else?
