It depends on the type of case.
The court does not automatically appoint a power of attorney. Someone has to request that. And if you are talking about someone who has passed, domeone has to petition to be the executor of an estate.
YES
Write a letter to the court that granted the power of attorney. They will revoke it and appoint someone else if needed.
They would have to apply to the probate court. The court can provide the list of necessary forms and documentation to be presented.
You cannot 'take' a power of attorney. The individual has to give it to the party, or a court has to appoint someone.
I'm in this situation...I was told I had to petition Superior Court to have someone designated to sign for the person to assign Power of Attorney.
A conservatorship is granted by a court. It will override a power of attorney.
They do not have the ability to transfer the power of attorney. A court can appoint a new one.
A patient has a Durable Power of Attorney only if they have executed such a legal document in the past. The person named in the Durable Power of Attorney is the attorney-in-fact. If an incapacitated patient did not execute such a document when they were legally capable then someone must be appointed as their guardian by a court.
Anyone can act as a power of attorney for someone else. You do not have to be an attorney
Of course not! They are confidential records and none of your business. If they have passed on and this is the estate, then a full accounting of the assets have to be filed with the court. If someone else is their power of attorney or guardian, you could petition the court to have them removed.
Apply to the probate court for an emergency power of attorney. The hospital can probably assist and will have to provide some documentation.
