    Exactly. I have PoA for my parents, but I’ve never exercised it. My father is in care due to dementia, but my mother is in fine mental and physical health. The PoA is primarily there in case a decision needs to be made for my father’s care but my mother isn’t available for any reason. Doesn’t have to be medical reasons, mom always has the care facility make a note of the PoAs when she travels.

      Yeah a couple of years ago my parents went through all that paperwork. They have each other as first in line for power of attorney, and then I’m the second.

      Hell, I got my power of attorney done at the same time.
