Dpoa one year after 1st dpoa with all three kids on it. Paul and sherry were never supposed to be on as any kind of power over my mother snd this nursing home is making her decine rapidly. I have a wonderful home plan but cant get her out. She wants out!

Answer: Recognizing that different family members often have varying views on the best treatment for their parent, I believe the best course of action is to request an investigation by Adult Protective Services to determine whether your mother’s current placement is appropriate. If Adult Protective Services does not take action, I suggest hiring a probate litigation attorney and petitioning the probate court to establish guardianship over your mother so that you can make the necessary decisions.

I should note that it is often a bad idea to have more than one person as the decision-maker on any form of durable power of attorney, trust, or similar document. The reason is that when siblings are trying to make decisions for a parent, many other issues—often unrelated to the care or treatment of the parent—tend to surface. These issues frequently stem from old, unresolved problems between siblings, rivalries, and other buried conflicts. It’s unfortunate, but very human, for these concerns to come up during moments of extreme stress and tension, such as when a loved one is dying or undergoing medical treatment.
