What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? West Virginia
Ok here is the situation, a few days ago we found my grandfather on the floor with all signs of a stroke. He went to the hospital they ran tests and so far nothing. His memory was going before he would think it was 1950, that Carter was president, and think my aunt was his deceased wife who died in 1990. This all was brought to his doctors attention so he put him on an anti depressant. After this happened he has been violent, hallucinating, delusional, remembers who people are then 5 minutes later doesn't know anyone or confuses them with people who have been dead for years. The question is how would my mother go about getting medical power of attorney over him if he is already incompetent? He is extremely lost mentally and dangerous. He began this over 2 years ago but after he fell and was hospitalized it have increased severely. I don't know if it my mom being the executor of his will would help her gain POA since it doesn't state anything about POA just his estate. Please someone help we do not know what to do.
