Question

I have legal guardianship of my mom who has advanced alzheimer's. Is there any way to obtain power of attorney?



Answer

If you are the court-appointed legal guardian then you already have the type of authority and powers typically granted in a power of attorney. You should discuss your duties, powers and authority with your guardianship counsel.



Answer

Basic answer is you dion't need a power of attorney. You should just be able to show your "letters of office" to anyone who requires proof that you are your mother's legal guardian.
