How to get power of attorney over someone?

I got power of attorney over my mother's affairs at her nursing home using only two witnesses and the notary public at the business office there. I paid only $20. All you really need is the form, a notary public and two witnesses in most states.

Sorry if this feels insensitive that’s not my intention.

Your experience sounds similar to my Mother's, she had to contact an attorney for my Grarndma ( her Mum) and contacted my uncle ( her brother) to witness my Grandma signing her assets over to them.

My Mum did this just a before my Grandmother lost all sense of her mentality due to dementia.

I just wanted to say my condolences to you and you did the right thing as my Mother did for my Grandma or the government would have taken every penny.

It’s brutally real and has to be dealt with which I admired my Mother for a great deal.

@SW-User Correct and yes, the gov't takes everything and you're then placed in the difficult position of having to secure lawyers to contend with the state.

Not the slightest bit insensitive, and thank you for your tact and consideration. I see you've been there and done that.
