Re: Power of Attorney
A local attorney shouldn't charge too much for a GPOA. I urge you to talk to one as soon as possible.
Re: Power of Attorney
The question is whether your mother is competent. If so, a POA woudl be fine and you should be able to find forms for financial and medical. However, if she is not competent, you will need to hire an attorney for guardianship.
However, be cautious, if you are unsure once you look at the forms, then hire an attorney.
