My mother is sick and I am taking over her finances and all health decisions. I am getting guardianship over her, with that do I still need to get power of attorney?

Re: power of attorney
If you will be appointed by the court as the guardian of the person and estate of your mother then you do not need a power of attorney.
A power of attorney is usually used in place of a guardianship. Your mother could only sign a power of attorney if she is competent.
This is general information and is not intended as legal advise nor does it create an attorney client relationship. You should seek the advise of an attorney for advise related to your specific situaiton.
