Mom’s health recently took a turn, and I know my aunt’s mania is making things worse, but she’s the only family nearby. Mom refuses to put any legal authorities in place, so I am not her POA. Plus, I’m so far away. I knew this day would come, but I’m so unprepared. What can I do?
THIS.
Unless Mom is deemed unable to make decisions, Mom can change her mind at any time & arrange legal documents to appoint a POA, a Medical POA/decision maker, list Advance Care Directives. Or not. Some never do.
