What can I do if my husband refused to sign a Power of Attorney and he has dementia?
If my husband refuses to sign a poa, he has dementia, but is aware of his name, address, family etc. and he at another time sig a poa with another attorney that he knows?
If he signed another POA, that is likely still legal. I'd check with an elder law attorney or estate attorney about how to handle this. Generally a spouse would be POA first, with a backup outside of the marriage in case the spouse is unable to do so. But that isn't always the case. An attorney may be you best route - and as soon as possible. As dementia worsens, it's harder to make legal changes. Good luck, Carol
