Full conversation
I need a standard form for power of attorney for my mom in [address redacted].
I understand that you're looking to set up a power of attorney for your mom, which can be an important step. Can you please specify what type of decisions you would like the power of attorney to cover (e.g., financial, medical, or both)?
Both.
Is your mom currently able to understand and sign legal documents, or does she have any health issues that might affect her capacity?
She has mild dementia but still understands us, recognizes and trusts my brother and I.
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your power of attorney form.
No.
My name is Jessica and I am a licensed attorney that will be assisting you with your question. I understand you're dealing with a situation where you need a standard form for power of attorney for your mom in [address redacted], covering both financial and medical decisions. Have you considered any legal steps to address this situation?
Getting her signature notarized on a power of attorney form is the legal step we're at
Here is where you create and print the Power of Attorney: New York Durable Power of Attorney form. New York's requirements for a valid power of attorney, including execution and notarization, are set out in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15 (Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney). Thank you!
