Can someone tell me what having power of attorney involves? My Father passed away in July and I am my Mother's power of attorney

I'm sorry to hear that your dad died in July. That must be a very tough loss for both you and your mother.

If you have Duable POA for your mother, that means you handle her financial affairs as if you were her if she is no longer able to do so and do so in a business like manner.

If you have Medical POA for your mother, than means you have extra responsibility and input concerning her medical care. Please give her doctors a copy of the medical POA for that frees them up to discuss your mother's health more openly.

Please read each POA very carefully.
