Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Out of State power of Attorney

My son requires a power of attorney for his fathers affairs. Not much to take care of but my son's Uncle has stated he would take care of the estate for my son. How do we get a very simple power of attorney stating to take care of the affairs of my son's father. The forms on line are quite lenghty and do not state what we think we need specifically. My son lieves in Maryland, his father lived and died in florida. The Uncle lives in Illinois

Somewhere in this question is a disconnect. A power of attorney must be signed by the person who needs someone to act on their behalf. Of course, if the father is deceased he cannot sign for someone to act on his behalf and settle his estate. I think you do not need and cannot use a power of attorney form. You need to talk to a probate Florida lawyer.
