Power of attorney and return finances back to my mother
My sister has power of attorney for my mom. Sister has placed mom in nursing home. Sister has control of her finances. My mom wants out of nursing home and return to her own home.
How do I go about getting control of my mother finances back to her? I was told I can change power of attorney, but do not know procedure for regaining control of her finances for her.
Mom and sister live in one state and I live in another.

Re: Power of attorney and return finances back to my mother
She can change her POA and notify those third parties of the change. If your sister did this by gaining a guardianship/ conservatorship through the court then that is a different matter. Sometimes being out of state its difficult to appreciate physical infirmity even though the person seems very sharp over the phone. You'll have to observe for yourself. Who will meet your Mom's needs once she is out of the NH? Always best to see a lawyer.
