I recently obtained power of attorney for my father, who is developing Alzheimer's and may some day need help with medical and financial things. However, I'm really not sure how it works.Do I need to call his bank, accountant, doctor, dentist, etc and inform them I have this document? Should I visit them so they can make copies? Or do I simply wait until it's needed (like this year, for taxes) and bring the original with me to prove I have the authority to help him?And what about medical things? For instance, if I want to make sure he isn't missing doctor appointments, and have them tell me when his appointments are, should I take the form over and explain?
There are somethings missing from your question to provide a good answer. How did you get a power of attorney? If this is some document you got from a website or from a legal document place you may have serious problems down the road. If you worked with an attorney, she or he should have explained what the document covers and what it does not. Likely problems you may have by skipping the attorney in this, is the document may not be valid or may not provide to you the authority necessary to carry out all of the things you need to do. You should consult with an attorney to at least have the document reviewed and possibly have a good one drawn up and explained to you.
