Which Power of Attorney do I need?
I am trying to purchase a Power of Attorney form for Arkansas that would allow me to make medical and financial decisions for my mother who has Alzheimers while she is alive and she can't make her own decisions or take care of her current finances. I live in a different state. I saw 3 different forms: Durable Power of Attorney, General Power of Attorney and HealthCare Power of Attorney for Arkansas. Would one of those do all I need (which one?)or do I need more than one? Thanks.

Re: Which Power of Attorney do I need?
You need a Power of Attorney that is specific to your situation. Health Care PoA would involve medical powers, Durable means long-lasting, General usually is a catch-all. I can't see the forms you are talking about so I can't tell exactly what they cover. So, I would suggest a PoA that is specific to your needs.
