Re: Power of attorney

If he is appointed guardian of her person, he can make financial and personal decisions for her. You realy need to have a lawyer look at the whole situation.

If your uncle goes to court, an attorney will be appointed to represent her, but you might want someone else to look at it.

Call me or email if you have any questions.
