Last Will and Testament

Florida

Asked on Apr 23, 2023

Can I make changes to my will after it has been created?

I recently created a will, and my family and financial situation has since changed. I'm wondering if I can make changes to my will to reflect these new changes, or if the will I created is now set in stone. I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed and make sure my wishes are accurately reflected.

Last Will and Testament

Georgia

Asked on Jun 2, 2026

I had an Alabama elder care lawyer create my POA, will, etc. Now I am living permanently in Ga. Is my paperwork still good or do I need to get it reviewed and updated in Ga.

widowed and living alone

Allen L.

Answered Jun 5, 2026

The short answer is: your Alabama documents are most likely still legally valid in Georgia, but a Georgia attorney review is strongly recommended — especially given your situation living alone and widowed. Here is the breakdown: Will Georgia recognizes a will validly executed in another state as long as it was properly signed and witnessed under that state's law at the time it was made. Alabama and Georgia both require two witnesses, so your will should be fine. That said, if your Alabama will names your spouse or references Alabama-specific assets, accounts, or property that has since changed, it absolutely needs updating for that reason alone. Power of Attorney Georgia adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act in 2017. Georgia will generally honor a POA validly created in another state. However, Georgia has specific statutory language that banks, hospitals, and other institutions are accustomed to seeing. If your Alabama POA does not track Georgia's statutory form, some institutions may resist honoring it or ask for additional paperwork, which can cause serious delays in a crisis. Having a Georgia-compliant POA dramatically reduces that friction. Healthcare Directive / Advance Directive This is the most important one to update. Georgia has its own Advance Directive for Health Care form that combines a living will and healthcare proxy. Georgia medical providers are trained on this specific form. An Alabama healthcare directive may be legally valid here, but you may encounter real-world resistance from hospitals and doctors who are not familiar with it. A Georgia-specific advance directive is highly advisable. Practical Concerns Given Your Situation Living alone and widowed means your agent under your POA and your healthcare proxy are your first and only lines of protection if something happens. You want zero friction when those documents need to be used. This is not the situation to test whether an out-of-state document will be accepted in a moment of urgency. You should also confirm that whoever you have named as your agent, executor, and healthcare proxy is still the right person, still willing, and still able to serve. Bottom Line Your documents are not void, but getting them reviewed and updated for Georgia is genuinely worth the time and cost. At a minimum, a new Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care and a Georgia-compliant Durable POA should be strongly considered. While you are at it, confirm your beneficiary designations on any life insurance, IRAs, and bank accounts, as those pass outside your will regardless. Next Step The easiest way to get this handled is to open a project on ContractsCounsel at www.contractscounsel.com. You can post your document review and drafting project there, receive competitive flat-fee bids from Georgia-licensed attorneys who handle exactly this type of elder law work, and get everything updated without having to search for a lawyer on your own. It is a straightforward process and puts you in control of the cost upfront. Given your situation, this is one of those things that is well worth getting done sooner rather than later.

Do I need a lawyer to get a power of attorney

My uncle is an elderly man and his wife passed away in January of this year. She did everything as far handling all of the important things. He doesn't understand a lot of things. He asked me if I would take over everything for him. So I think I need to get a power of attorney to be able to do tnat.

Rebecca R.

Answered May 3, 2022

A power of attorney allows you to make decisions and dispose of property, it does sound like one might be helpful in your situation. When an attorney writes up the power of attorney, you have a range of permissions to cover all the needs of your individual situation. You’ll want to be sure that you have the ability to write checks, etc. Additionally, the power of attorney will be useful if other family members challenge your decisions or actions. Drafting the document is a fairly straightforward process, and most attorneys will bill 1-2 hours depending on whether you need additional documents for healthcare and estate decisions.

How can wife get power attorney from sibling for mother?

My wife is trying to get power of attorney for her mom from her sister that only wants her money and now we have her mom and her sister is keeping her I’d and birth certificate so she has no control of her money gave her a bank card with no pin and no I’d so she can’t go to the bank and get her money

George B.

Answered Sep 8, 2021

Generally, if a person is competent, he or she can revoke a power of attorney at any time and execute a new one in favor of someone else. Every individual/business that is aware of the previous power of attorney will need to be notified that it has been revoked and given the updated power of attorney. However, if a person has any conditions that may be impairing mental functions, it may be necessary to petition the court for guardianship/conservatorship. Both of these scenarios can get complicated incredibly fast, and you should consult with a lawyer in either situation.
