What is the name of your state? Illinois
My brother was granted a healthcare poa some years ago for our Grandmother. A cousin, who's agenda is to have Grandmother installed in a nursing home has had a new healthcare poa drawn, signed and noterized with out telling anyone else in the family. Yes, I understand that probably in another year or two, that is where she will need to be. To add to this, my Grandmothers 4 children can't seem to get together and agree to any thing.
Does this new poa have any legal standing? Grandmother is not always cognisant of what she is signing and I'm pretty sure she was conjoled into this. She is capable of being on her own, cooking and bathing of herself. She is not good about taking her pills and does need to be supervised for that. What can and/or should be done at this point to protect her from this relative.
Thanks
