Re: Power of attorney
You do need to get it notarized. Depending on your Mom's condition you might also need a doctor to certify that she is competent to be able to assign powers over to your husband. In truth, Durable Powers of Attorney can be customized and set up specifically for each situation. You might want to speak to a local elder law, or estate planning attorney (if I remember 93444 is Nipomo, so you might need to go into Santa Maria or SLO to find one), to help you out. Furthermore, if your Mother is incapable of signing the documents legally (due to althimerz) your going to need an attorney to represent you in a conservatorship hearing.
