What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
My Dad has been diagnosed with AD by his primary doctor. He was also seen by a group of specialists in Sept/Oct 2006. Two more doctors tested and confirmed Alzheimers.He admits he has AD. His wife denies he has it.
November 2006 My Dad reviews and makes significant changes to his POA/DPOA. He signs these documents in Feb 2007. My Dad does not understand his POA , he has said that.
Here is the concern....My Dad was widowed in 1984 at the age of 60 . He has been remarried for 20 years.We will refer to her as" Dotty" Prior to getting married to Dotty he had a pre-nuptial agreement. He has altered his will a few times since his remarriage, going back and forth and appearing to alter some items significantly.
My Dad is very well off and has already given us many gifts. None of us are suffereing. In Feb 2007 My Dad told my oldest brother that "Dotty" was adamant and insisted on being first on the new POA" . My brother is now second on the new POA. My Dad told my youngest sibling that he was concerned that his wife's children would end up inheriting more than his own children.
We do not believe that his attorney was given any written documenatation of his diagnosis.
How valid are documents signed after this diagnosis? How valid is any conversation we have heard ? Some of these newer documents have also changed methods of IRA"s being paid to her. Instead of going into a trust they will now be paid directly to her.
I am saddend to think that in my Dad's condition someone may have taken advantage of him.
I could go on but I need help!
