I have total POA on Mother with Dementia. I am in VA. My mother lives with my sister in AL. She recieves an allotment and medicare. My sister had my mother sign papers at a lawyers office to revoke my POA status. Is this binding considering my Mother is not competent.
Has your mother ever been formally declared incompetent? By whom, and when? That would be your basis for contesting this.
If you feel she is not being taken care of or her money is being used unwisely, then by all means take the initiative to have her live with you or at least remove her from your sister's care.
My brother has my Mom's POA, they also live in Alabama. I live in Florida. However, I am retired and my brother and his family are not. So when the time comes for help he will be looking to me to do all the work. The only way I will do that is move her to Florida and give me the POA.
And yes, she can change her POA at anytime unless she can be proven incompetent. Hope that helps a little.
