Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Power of Attorney
How does one go about getting power of attorney when the person in incapacitated? My father had a heart attack and is probably notgoing to wake. We need to get power of attorney to take care of some bills and what-not. How would I go about this?
Thanks.

Unfortunaetly, unless he regains consciousness, it is too late for that. You may want to review this information: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/seniors/duties.htm#general

I would ask them to crank the defibrillator up to about 300 volts.

You don't. You have to petition the court to establish a conservatorship. You are supposed to take care of these things BEFORE the person becomes incapacitated.
