Re: power of attorney conflict
Well, there are plenty of blind people who are perfectly competent. If you have questions regarding the integrity of your father's attorney in fact, you should consult an attorney who specializes in guardianships.
Also, every county in Washington has a DSHS division called Adult Protective Services. Similar to Child Protective Services. If you think that your father has been taken advantage of, or that he had competency issues at the time he signed his Durable Power of Attorney, you can direct your concerns to APS and they can decide whether to investigate or not.
Hope this helps. Powell
