i have a durable poa for 84 year old mother in law. In skilled nf and needs to go to custodial care. My attorney says I need special poa for medi-cal planning. Current poa says we are authorized to deal with medicare/medical and other government benefits and programs. Why would I have to have a special poa. Mother in law may not have the mental capacity left to sign another. We are trying to reposition assets. Is the attorney just trying to get larger fee for filing for conservertor status?
