If your father has legal capacity he must execute a Power of Attorney that names you as his attorney-in-fact. The POA must be notarized. If your father lacks legal capacity you must petition the court to be appointed his guardian.

If you need further advice you can check to see if there is a social worker or patient advocate at the nursing home who could help your father to execute the necessary documents to give you POA in health matters as well as legal matters. You should do that ASAP.

Daughter took power of attorney on her dad behalf can she get the power of attorney for dad wife?

You don't "take" a Power of Attorney. It must be voluntarily granted by the principal and the principal must be legally capable of executing it. Dad's wife would need to execute a Power of Attorney for herself.


How can you get power of attorney for your dad when your sister has power now but feels he has to die as he has surpassed his life expectancy?

You can first ask your dad to revoke the power of attorney that appoints your sister as the agent. You do that by using a revocation of power of attorney form. Then he can file a new power of attorney that appoints you as the agent.

If your dad signed power of attorney to a woman whom he was not married do his children have rights to his property?

No type of power of attorney survives the grantor's death. Assuming your dad has died, the power of attorney is null and void. However, if a party is unaware that your dad has died, it is possible that they may not be held liable for honoring it. If this woman knows that your father is dead and is still going around acting on his behalf, you should consult an attorney about stopping her. You should also notify anyone who has possession of (or control over) any of your father's property (banks, investment companies, etc) that he has died in order to protect the property. A power of attorney gives the woman no rights over your father's estate. Only the executor of the estate can control the disposition of the estate's property. Again, if there is some question about who is disposing of his property, it would be wise to consult with an attorney promptly before any more property is lost.
