[quote=Anonymous]My mom is in her 80s and "slipping" mentally and physically. She's always been disorganized, but is at the point where she would like help in managing her finances and medical care. We recently moved her into a senior living place. I found templates for the state she's living in to complete durable power of attorney for medical and another for financial. My siblings support me going forward with establishing this and being the agent. They are listed as the successors. Do I really need an attorney to do anything at this point or can I find a notary public, witnesses, and get this completed on my own without an attorney? I ask because my mom is super cheap, has a modest income, and if I hire an attorney it will 100% my expense without any of my siblings or family chipping in. Thoughts? Any risk to skipping the attorney? [/quote]
