Coolidge, GA Estate Planning Law Firms & Lawyers

The child needs to obtain guardianship and conservatorship over her father if she wants to control his property.  I assume only the father's name is on the property? The girlfriend is at least a tenant and must be given 30 days notice to vacate.

Depending upon the level of your father's capacity, it may be too late to obtain authority under a Power of Attorney. If your father has lost the ability to understand the effect of these sorts of estate planning documents, if he has lost the ability to enter into contracts and if he is "90% of the time" incoherent, that avenue might well be closed to him. Your alternative to affirmative incapacity planning by your father is often found in the guardianship and conservatorship proceedings of the jurisdiction that he resides in. Sounds like you'd have a pretty easy case to prove. Think of it this way: A POA is something that your father could have signed to provide for his own incapacity. Guardianships and conservatorships work like Court-initiated POAs the Court steps in to provide for your father largely because your father did not address this possibility in his own planning.
