We are having issues getting her POA changed as my sister is fighting us and the doctor. What other options do I have to care for my mother. She lives with me and my family takes care of her 365 days a year 24 hours a day. The attorney is dragging his feet making changes to her will and POA and I need to know if there are any other options I may have to fight my sister.

I think you may need to find a second attorney, preferably one who specializes in elder law. Seeing the same estate attorney who drew up the first agreement may lead to a dead end. Good luck. I don't think you can do this without legal help, but there are a lot of attoney's around. You may want to ask for references.Carol

Contact the local county court system in your area online . There should be several links there as well as phone numbers where someone may be able to guide you for what you need to do right now! You will have to all go to court however so be sure you are going to win before you put your mom through any of this. Good Luck.

Do I need an attorney to file for guardianship of an elderly parent with severe dementia?
I do believe so because the person in question has to be tested and all must go to court to declare guardianship.
