Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I am the POA for my husband who is in a Nursing home with Alzheimer's. His children from his first marriage wants to know how do they get to speak for him or become his POA if I die?
Check your POA, does it authorize you to appoint a successor or a CO-POA? If not the children will need to go to court and have themselves appointed as Guardians. This is the result of failure to complete the advance planning
First, did he want them to have that role when you designated you with the powers?
Second, if he did, the DPOA and/or Living Will should have designated them as successors, to act only upon the event of your death or resignation of responsibilities.
I have medical and legal authority under my father's Trust to designate successors if I'm incapacitated or unwilling to serve. Successors are also named if I die before the Trust is closed.
Third, at what stage of Alzheimer's is he? Was he admitted to the nursing home with signed medical diagnoses of Alzheimers?
If he's still competent to make decisions, AND if he wants them to be successors, he should have the attorney who prepared the documentation prepare another (or amend the first) to include them.
If he doesn't want them to play that role, they should be told, preferably by him. Alternately, you can just let the issue drop as they may very well become annoyed with you if they really want the powers.
If he's not competent to make decisions, and if you agree that the first marriage children should be successors, you'll have to have an attorney make the changes. This is not a DIY matter.
I think the additional issue would be who is named as Personal Representative (Executor/Executrix) of his Will?
...so sorry; hands do stuff. As I was saying, purchase a legal package from a stationary store or see an attorney. I had done this myself when my husband was first diagnosed. If there is a lot of $ here, see to it now. If it is a last ditch attempt to help dad, reach out to them. Depending on what state where you live, will determine a lot. Check it out. Call ,"Elder Care " in your area. There are many social services to help you. Enviable-we all die alone ,we all die, it's all stuff. $=funny pieces of paper with funny looking men on them????? Where do you put your worth? This is what I ask myself. Moment by moment...Seem to always get the same answer...You Are the Blessing.....
If he is still considered competent, your husband can change the POA to make you the primary POA with one or more of his children to be secondary who would become primary if you were to die. However, if he is no longer considered competent, one of them will need to file for guardianship if you were to die.
