I have a general power of attorney for my mother. What does that include? I have the power to make healthcare decisions, but what about her banking? Can I sign her checks and write POA below my name automatically, or is that something that I have to arrange with her bank?I already have sent the signed and notorized power of attorney forms to her bank, but they never did discuss what that means for me. Would I have to also sign a signature card on her account as well?
Power of legal professional signifies that the holder of the energy can constitute the character in authorized concerns, make clinical choices, and different most important object or movements. Even if the character is eighteen, the character with the energy of legal professional can act for the grownup, make clinical choices and monetary concerns.
yes you need to sign a card with a bank and your mother. I hope you understand what you said is right as a POA but if a person dies you no longer can do that unless your the excutor of the estate, The POA stops when a person dies. You may talk it over with your mom about a Will and her wishes. Most dont like doing it but its best because if its left up to the State to divide things over 1/2 is lost for taxes etc Your mom needs a health clause of the Right To Life for who she wants to adminster that in the event she goes into a coma etc. Does she want the plug pulled if brain dead. If not the hopsital pumps oxygen thru a person charging thousands a day of money your family could of gained,. Dont forget her siging and having 2 witnesses verify what she wants to do at her death such as what cenetary, creameted etc etc . Things a young married couple should get done early in life too. Insurane policies need beneficaries. I mention all these things because I dont know how old she is but we all need them Hope this helped because I went through it.
