If you believe that your father is unable to grasp the nature and the legal ramifications of having a power of attorney, then you probably should have new ones made for both him as well as your mother.

Our office could handle one of those for you right away. Please feel free to learn a little more about our firm as well as trusts and estates law in general at No-Probate.com.

Generally, it would probably be a good idea, however, it sounds to me like your situation is more complicated than you may know. Unless your parents are very wealthy, it is extremely important to develop an asset protection plan in the event that either of your parents should require long-term care. Otherwise, they could be at risk of losing substantial assets. Proper planning not only protects your mother, but may also protect assets for the benefit of the children.

Good luck to you and your family.
