You cannot "get" a power of attorney, your mother would have to agree to give it to you, in which case she would sign a form appointing you as POA. There are specific legal requirements for such a form and it is probably best to see an attorney.
Since this is posted in the disability category, I'm going to assume that perhaps there is some reason to believe that mom may have some mental impairments that lead the questioner to want to become POA. If that is the case and the impairments are severe enough, then mom is not competent to appoint someone as POA (or make any other legal decisions). The correct procedure there is to apply to the court to be appointed as her guardian or conservator (name and procedure varies from state to state). Again, probably best to see an attorney.
The will only applies after her death. Yes, someone can obtain a power of attorney over her through due process in the courts.
It is certainly possible to do so. They apply to the court and ask to be appointed.
No. A Power of Attorney expires immediately upon the death of the principal or the attorney-in-fact unless the Power of Attorney document provides for a named successor.
You must be a court appointed guardian to over-ride your mother's decisions. A Power of Attorney does not give you that type of authority.
If your mother grants you the power of attorney. Otherwise it will require a court order.
Your brother cannot be the 'power of attorney' for your mother's estate. A Power of attorney is extinguished upon the death of the principal. If your mother has died then your brother has no more authority over her property. In order to obtain the legal right to manage her estate you must apply to the probate court for appointment as the personal representative of her estate.
Power of Attorney Forms are not filed with the State, instead you will have to download or get a form, have it signed by you and your mother in front of a public notary. You can find a public notary at every branch bank in the United States.
A POA expires when the principal dies. They have no power over the estate or the beneficiary.
People can dispute whatever they want. But, assuming the power of attorney was for you if you become incapacitated or incompetent and named your mother as your power of attorney in that instance, she'll lose if she disputes it. You can name whomever you want as your power of attorney and no judge anywhere would rule otherwise.
Yes. The POA expired at the moment your mother died. Your sister has no power over your mother's assets. You need to petition the probate court to be appointed the executor. Once you have been appointed you will have full authority over your mother's assets and the settling of her estate.
He can rescind the Power of Attorney, depending on how it is worded. He should speak to a lawyer, preferably the one who drew up the Power.
In most cases it is possible. Unless there are restrictions in the power of attorney document.
This situation is exactly what the power of attorney is for. It is a written document which gives others control over your personal affairs if you are unable to do so in case of injury or other incident.
The right to complain to your father.
