Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
estate of alzheimers person
My 90 year old mother is unable to make financial decisions. No one has a power of attorney. She has maturing annuities that require instructions for payment options. What can we do?

unless she is still legally competent (to execute a power of attorney, advance health care directive, will and revocable trust [if needed]), a petition to superior court to appoint a conservator (or conservators) of her person and estate will likely be necessary. you should consult a qualified attorney in the county in which she resides.

You will need to have the Court order a conservatorship. Our office has extensive experience in this area. Please feel free to learn a little more about the Probate process as well as wills and trusts on our firm's site at No-Probate.com. When you are ready, please call our office to set up a free consultation with Charles or Tony. The number provided by LawGuru is correct...press "0" for Anna to make the appointment.

It looks like she needs to have a conservator appointed by a court to handle her financial affairs. In order to do so a petition will have to be filed with the court.
You should find a local attorney to do the petition and appear for you.
