Power of Attorney

[jolene70621]

My mother is in the hospital and has not designated anyone to take care of her affairs when she is unable. She lives in Illinois and I live in Missouri. My question is.... can I get some sort of power of attorney to take care of her affairs from here or do I need to talk to a lawyer in her area?

You would be best served by a consultation with an atty in her area, if not in her town then in the County where she resides.

Good luck

Is your mother competent?

What the poster needs to do is dependent on the answer to my question.
