Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Nevada

Re: power of attorney

No, unless you do something foolish like intermingling their assets with your own.

Re: power of attorney

It is power of attorney, not power "over" your parents. Generally, the purpose is to have someone present who can sign documents when the other person is out of town a lot, ill often so can not leave home, etc. Do you and your parents understand what your powers are and when you can and can not use them? It is a poor idea to give a child any power over their parents because of the periodic disagreements that will occur. You and your parents should talk out what the purpose of giving you power of attorney is, how it is better fro them to make their own decisions, etc.

Re: power of attorney

I sometimes prepare "springing" powers of attorney. They take effect only when a doctor certifies in writing that the parent -- because of medical condition -- cannot make financial decisions. That way, it's not a general power of attorney and terminates when it's revoked. There's less danger of abuse in that regard.
