Medical Power of Attorney?
A disabling illness or injury can happen at any time, often without warning. Heart attacks, strokes, and accidents causing disabling injuries are an unfortunate commonality in modern society. When a person becomes disabled and unable to speak for themselves, a medical power of attorney is often needed. Though it goes by different names in different states, the medical power of attorney is essentially written permission to allow another to make medical decisions for you. This permits the medical provider to perform medical procedures on your behalf. Without a power of attorney, the medical provider may be limited in the treatment they may provide, even in an emergency. In the document, the individual designates a power or attorney, sometimes called a proxy, to make medical decisions on their behalf. In most states, an individual can designate more than one person, or at least an alternative person, should the main attorney in fact be unavailable. The power of attorney document will normally become effective at the time the individual becomes disabled and unable to speak for themselves, if the document so states. The document will normally have a date for the power to become effective. The document will also revoke any prior medical powers of attorney previously granted. It may have limitations to what the attorney in fact may decide is in the best interest of the individual. The individual, when creating the document, will have the ability to limit what an attorney in fact may or may not authorize for medical treatment. For instance, if the individual does not wish to be kept alive by artificial means, and so states in the document, or another identified document, the attorney in fact cannot authorize the use of artificial means. In many states, the medical power of attorney is not effective until the medical provider actually sees the document, or at least a copy. Medical providers are usually not required to take someone's word that such a document exists. They must see the document. This is why many people will provide a copy, or the original, to their primary care physician or local hospital. At the very least, the person designated in the document should be aware of it and where it is located. A medical power of attorney is not a general power of attorney. The person designated as attorney in fact will have no authority to access bank accounts, perform real estate transactions or handle other financial matters. The general power of attorney is a separate document, and the individual can designate separate people.
You bought a house FM a mother that had power of attorney FM her daughter who was deported to Mexico july1-05 but signed the power of attorney on july22-05 through fax is this legal?
It doesn't sound really good to me. Powers of Attorney are legal documents that must be prepared (and usually witnessed) according to the laws of the jurisdiction they're supposed to take effect in. How do you know that the faxed document contains the genuine signature of the daughter? I would demand to see the original document and then check with an attorney to see if it met the legal requirements of wherever you are.

An attorney made out a power of attorney for my mother ten years ago. It was signed and notarized by the attorney. A hospital told us it is not valid with only his signature. What should we do?
You need to research the requirements for an effective POA in your state. Perhaps it needed a witness. You should check at your town offices to see if there is a Council for Elder Affairs that can advise you. Otherwise you need to consult with an attorney who can review the POA document and determine if it is effective under your state law. You should try to contact the attorney who drafted the document.

For a POA that has already been executed you must obtain a copy from the principal or from the attorney in fact.

The staff should be able to help you find a book of forms and then you can take a photocopy.

Where do you check to see if someone has filed power of attorney on you?
The estate plan document include the Will, living willing, DPOA, HCP, Executor/Executrix. Request the entire estate file, if deceased. Where all terminate at death, I suspect the doc, will not be provided. likely, the nursing home, tax preparer snd the like, would have it, due to the DPOA and AIF, addressing the financial affairs. Requesting the information in a written letter, to the estate Attorney, may provide the answer, but do not believe they are under any obligation to do so. Also, any title changes occurring, such as vehicle ownership, would require the DPOA Sig. If DMV records are accessible, found there. A DPOA SIGNS LEGAL AND FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS, and is the person, for whom they serve and have a duty, with their signature with date of Appointment doc after it, and the client for whom they serve. My powers were without limitations, Some restr can be imposed, if the person includes them. A FOOA cannot change a Will.
