Hi, I'm new here. I believe my mom just changed her poa and took me completely off. Her husband is covering for her and in complete denial about her diagnosis. She was diagnosed with mci 10 years ago and Alz. last Sept. I called the attorney beforehand and told him about her diagnosis. The attorney went ahead and redid it anyway! What the heck? She is clearly paranoid and delusional. I have a consult with an eldercare attorney soon. Any other advice? (She blames me for her driver's license getting taken away.) I am the only family member in the state. Neither she nor her husband are capable of overseeing her medical care. He is ok with financial stuff, but does not use a computer at all, no awareness of phishing, etc. She is very vulnerable and, in my opinion, does not have the capacity to be making legal decisions. I am very stressed about this situation. Thank you for any thoughts.
