Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

Re: Father is incapable of making decisions

If your father is incapacitated, he may not have appropriate capacity to sign a Power of Attorney.

If that is the case, you may need to look into a Conservatorship and Guardianship proceeding in Court. You should consult with an attorney experienced in this area for further answers.

Re: Father is incapable of making decisions

I have always taken the position that if someone is incapable of making decisions for himself/herself, then a power of attorney does no good because they are incapable of understanding the act.

If you feel your father is incapable of making rational decisions and is a danger to himself (financially, emotionally, and/or physically), it may be time for an interdiction.
