Hey All, So my family has been having trouble concerning my grandmother and grandfather and their possessions. They have both been placed in a nursing home, and at this point both are not both there.in non-scientific terms. But, a few months ago before their state deteriorated, my mother typed up a document that stated she would be in charge of their bank card, vehicle, etc. She had it signed by my grandmother, signed by a witness, and notarized. Is that considered official document making her the power of attorney? If so, does that mean anything listed in that document is now her responsibility? Thanks
A power of attorney is permission for your mother to act just as your grandmother would act. She would be able to sign her checks, sell her car pay her taxes, etc. The power of attorney is just a notice to everyone that your grandmother gave your mother permission to do stuff for her. It does not mean that your mother HAS to do the stuff. It sounds like the document that she and your grandmother signed is a good power of attorney. - Stuart
She volunteered to do the job. So she does it or grandmother, (who you said was not home mentally) does it. I'm unsure of your question. Your mother has the Power of Attorney(POA). If she does not take care of the bills and grand parents affairs who is going to do it?
