Because of elder abuse/theft of money, more and more banks are rejecting POA’s that are not their own. You need to get an elder law attorney familiar with situations such as yours. Since you are not in the same state as your father-in-law, the court probably needs to appoint both a guardian and conservator, which are usually two different people. The guardian will be responsible for making sure the center is appropriately attending to your father-in-law and his needs. The guardian will be local and see things you are unable to see since you are not there. The conservator will be responsible for protecting the money and required to document every cent spent. Both are required to make detailed reports do family knows exactly what is going on. |
