My husband and I are currently living with my mother-in-law. She is elderly and needs help to manage all aspects of her life including medical and financial decisions as well as improving her living situation. We want to know what type of legal document we need in order to help her in these areas. Is a power of attorney appropriate? If so is there any protection against other family members that could potentially swoop in and try to take advantage of her?
Thanks, LJ
You should consult with an attorney experienced in elder law. A power of attorney may be appropriate however I would need more information to determine if it is.
