How do you change the named personal representative in a Will to the named alternate?

You can execute a Codicil to the Will. A codicil should be drafted in the same form as a Will: witnessed and notarized according to the laws in your jurisdiction. The Codicil should be permanently attached to the Will and should very specifically state which parts are being stricken and what is being added in its place.

What can you do with a Power of Attorney your mom is in prison and wants her boyfriend out of her house which is in her name What can you do?

If you have a full power of attorney you may act in her place in all matters, including this one.

However, if you only have a limited power of attorney (it will state what you are limited to being able to do) you may be unable to act. You must read the document carefully.

In any case, if the boyfriend has been a long-term resident - you will probably have to check the landlord/tenant laws of your jurisdiction to determine if you must legally evict him rather than simply 'putting him out.'

Additionally; if the boyfriend has no legal right to occupy the residence (i.e.: no lease or rental agreement - or his name is not on the title) you may be able to act to remove him even without a POA.

Since your situation is not spelled out that clearly, ask for a one-time consultation with a local attorney for your options.

If a person is ill with liver failure and experiencing elevated ammonia levels would their mind be considered intact to sign legal documents to change a will?

This very much depends on the level of mind of the person signing the documents at the time,and indeed if it can be proved by an expert [Medical or forensic] that the persons mind was distorted as a result of "elevated ammonia levels in his blood stream" his judgment would have been impaired at the time..therefore in that event the Will would be considered as invalid-or Void.

Liver failure..depends if it was such that again the person signing the Will,at the time was not fully conscious or was aware.If the latter [aware] is to be considered, then liver failure on it's own is not proof of the person not being of sound mind. [Syed Amir]
