I am in Florida
I am trying to find out if it is necessary to be a resident of fl to sign a DPA in florida and what makes you a resident of fl?
My 90 yo mother lives with me, she came her from Massachusetts, she signed a DPA with a reputable atty in FL now has dementia
a family member is disputing the DPA stating it is not legal because she was not a FL resident
I cannot get answers as to what makes you a resident and if it is necessary

you must reside in the state of Florida 6 months. Thereafter you are resident. You will probably need a corroberating witness. If your mother has dementia, you need to apply to have a guardianship over her.
