Legal Question in Elder Law in New Hampshire
Power of Attorney
My sister has durable power of attorney for my Mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease last fall. I am not too happy with how she is controlling everything for my Mother. She did contact an elder affairs attorney and put all of her assets into a trust. I'm not sure how she is handling the rest of my Mother's assets. How do I go about finding out how to petition for power of attorney for myself and on what basis could I do this? Please advise. Thank you very much.

Re: Power of Attorney
You can't split a power of attorney simply because you don't like what your sister is doing,--or she's not keeping you in the loop. Mom is no longer capable of executing one.
A judge can change things, but it sounds like she's doing things the right way and what you need is information.
Best bet: even if you choose to challenge the POA in court, try to mediate this dispute. It works extremely well in cases like these.
