Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nebraska

Re: about a power of attorney

A power of attorney does not generally provide the right to do either. A power of attorney may be used to sell real estate, but if the wife is on the title to the property the property may not be sold without her consent. It sounds as though the wife would need to petition the court to be appointed guardian over her husband. As guardian, she may terminate the power of attorney. Whoever holds power of attorney now will probably oppose the guardianship or seek to be appointed guardian instead of wife. It can become an expensive process if contested. Wife should seek the advice of an attorney immediately to determine all of her available options. She will need to pay for the advice, but it shouldn't cost too much.
