Getting POA

Well, you could contact an attorney in Washington and he/she can draft one up for your mother to sign. Or you can go online and fill one out. You can find lots of forms, some for free and some for pay. You could also go to a website called LegalZoom.com and fill one out there and there is a fee.

Mom should understand that POA is a very powerful document and in the wrong hands can be a very dangerous document. It basically gives the POA a blank check. The next key thing is the signing of the document. It needs to be notarized properly and I believe you need one witness, but it could be two. You as POA cannot be one of the witnesses.

That really is about it.

Poa

A Power of attorne is useless in Oregon, if the perpetrator is a family member.

I had a valid "springing" or sometimes called a durable Power of Attorney in place, yet the courts ignored it's existance and the perpetrator of Breach of fiduciary, walked away with my assets.
