My dad's girlfriend has POA right now. I'm second POA.

He's 9 years diagnosed with dementia and has been in a memory care facility for over a year. What happens if she gets sick or isn't able to take care of his business am I legally able to step in?

If he has designated a secondary POA who takes over if/when the primary POA is unable or unwilling to serve, and if that's you, yes.
