The reason I ask is because my grandma when still considered of sound mind signed a durable power of attorney for me while we were living in CT. We are moving to Maine but she is unable to sign her name having severe dementia. Will this power of attorney still be good in Maine and allow me to place her in a nursing home when it's time? It's not like I can have her sign a new one anymore.
Durable Power of Attorney is for finance and NOT for Health. There is a separate Power of Attorney for Health.
Letter of statemant POA is still in enforce and complies w state statute re poa and quote state statute. And notification of monetary damages for failure to recognize poa according to her wishes.

Are you her will executor or co executor that helps too.
