Re: Power of Attorney
If your father is incompentent, you will not be able to get a power of attorney from him nor will he be able to create a will. However, your mother can file for guardianship through the probate court in the county that they reside. She can apply for guardianship of his person &/or estate. Once she is appointed she will be able to make these decisions for him.
