Just because someone's name is entered as the power of attorney agent doesn't mean that agent has legal authority to act. Certain events need to first occur -- UNLESS the person clearly states in the power of attorney document that they want the agent to take over immediately. <br /><br />When someone creates a power of attorney document and names an agent, that agent only gains authority when conditions specified in the document are met. Typically, the power of attorney indicates that the agent takes over only after one or more doctors investigate and determine incapacity (and provide documentation towards this). <br /><br />However, I've noticed that the banks, police, etc., don't seem to know about this, especially if the party is a professional fiduciary (professional conservator/guardian) and/or attorney. <br /><br />Susan in California<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-49887012664084767242018-09-20T09:31:23.216-05:002018-09-20T09:31:23.216-05:00I wish the worst for this guy.I wish the worst for this guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
