How do you obtain power of attorney of a parent suffering from dementia?

POA's can only be obtained if the grantor is willing and is mentally capable of understanding the nature of the procedure. In cases where the mentally incapacitated person needs assistance and cannot grant POA the interested party must apply for adult guardianship through the appropriate state court (usually probate). Adult guardianship is expensive ($3,000-$5,000) and often complicated as the legal definition of incompetency is not necessarily compatible with the medical definition of such. A competency hearing is required in almost every state. Also in every state the person(s) applying for guardianship must retain legal counsel and the person in question must have a Guardian Ad Litem appointed by the court. The best option is to obtain legal advice from a qualified attorney.
