If the triggers in the power of attorney have been pulled - normally by written medical opinions - then whatever needs to be done with her estate can be done.

How can we centralize the powers in one person for estate planning documents?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
It can be, but does not have to be, a serious issue. In certain cases it is advisable to separate the powers. (for instance I usually separate the trustee from the potential guardian of minor children named in any will) Further there should not be an "alternate Agent named under each of our Powers of Attorney for Finances" Please contact an attorney and get a personal consultation.

What rights do the children and wife have to stop this Interdiction filed by father's brother?

Answered by attorney James G Maguire (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
You should understand some things about the process of interdiction. The person seeking the interdiction (your uncle) has to file a petition in district court an have it served on the person to be interdicted (your father). Notices must be sent to all "interested persons." That includes your father's wife and all of his adult children. Your father can retain an attorney to represent him in the interdiction. If he does not, the court will appoint an attorney to represent him. When the interdiction is set for trial, the person seeking interdiction must prove by clear medical evidence that your father is mentally incompetent to care for himself. The attorney representing your father will call witnesses (you and your siblings) to testify that your father, although impaired, is capable of making his own decisions. It is a difficult and expensive process to have someone interdicted.
