Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
power of attorney after aneurysm
My father had a ruptured aneurysm, and in ICU. basically in drug induced coma, and may be for weeks or possibly not survive. but has bills that need paying, and has told me in front of friends that i should be the one to take over if something like this ever happened, but did not get around to writing it in a document. how do i get power of attorney since he is in no condition to speak, much less sign a document? he really has no assets, only a vehicle, so how do i go about this? i have sblings, but both are addicts and in no shape to to handle these matters? thanks, Teresa

If a person has not executed a power of attorney when compentent then a guardianship may be in order. Through a guardianship a court approved individual can receive funds and pay bills.

Since he is in no condition to sign anything, you should consult with a local attorney about being appointed by the Probate Court as his guardian.
