Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
power of attorney
I have an uncle who has never married, no children. How do we go about getting power of attorney or duable power of attorney, what is the difference? What if he is not able to make decisions for himself? Is it possible to have two people with power of attorney? Does power of attorney cover medical as well as financial? In the event of this person passing , would power of attorney be able to sell home and bury the indivudual? He has a very old will, he has said he has made changes but no one can locate anything.

Re: power of attorney
You have asked many questions and I will endeavor to answer them. Your uncle, assuming that he is able to direct his affairs can request that a power of attorney document be drafted. He can grant anyone he decides the power to direct his affairs for him while he is alive. If there is an old Will, and a codicil cannot be located it is probably best to have an attorney review the information with him and draft a new Will, or a Trust along with the power of attorney documents based on his stated needs at the time.
If I can be of further assistance to you do not hesitate to contact me.
Kindest Regards,
