Can I get a POA over my mother's medical situation at the age of 18?

Stuart Anthony McKenzie
Answered by attorney Stuart Anthony McKenzie (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Stuart A. McKenzie Attorney at Law
Your age would not limit your ability to be your mothers agent under an Advance Health Care Directive because you have attained the age of majority. However for you to be her agent she must name you. Since she lacks capacity she cannot name you at this time. If her needs are not being attended to and she cannot take care of herself you should investigate if her situation is appropriate for the appointment of a conservator. First talk to her husband.

Complicated ownership of home

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Did your boyfriend and his brother own the home as joint tenants with rights of survivorship or did they own the home as tenants in common? If joint tenants then the brother likely owns the home outright. If tenants in common,  and boyfriend died without a will, then the children may have a claim on half of the home that their dad owned. Consult with a real estate attorney to review the deed for more specific advice.

Once a will has been made, can the other spouse change it?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Your dad passed away and left everything to your Mom. Now it's her money. She can do what she wants, unless there was a WRITTEN contract between mom and dad not to change their wills. It sounds like you may have an "undue influence" claim against nephew, if he induced mom to sign a new will while she didn't have capacity. Get a lawyer working on that now.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
