Legal Question in Elder Law in Pennsylvania

Power of Attorney

I'm in the process of obtaining guardianship over an elderly relative with no other living descendants. I'd like to know if they've given Power of Attorney to anyone. Is there any way I can research this? The relative lives in Pennsylvania.

Re: Power of Attorney

You asked about finding out if there is an existing power of attorney.

You should speak with an elder law attorney. An existing power of attorney may be out there and yet may not be known about or located. Rather you should seek to create a new power of attorney and withdraw all others.

This will require specific language and specific treatment in order to provide the maximum protection.

Speak with an elder law attorney right away to effect the desired results.

Regards,

Roger
