Power of Attorney
Ohio
Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions?
Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions? I have been granted Power of Attorney for my elderly mother who was deemed mentally incapable of making decisions due to dementia. However, her condition has improved significantly, and she is now able to make decisions on her own. I want to know if it is possible to revoke the Power of Attorney and return decision-making authority to her.
Michelle M.
A power of attorney does not take away the decision-making authority of the principal. It appoints someone to act on behalf of the principal as provided in the document, but not to the exclusion of the person granting the power. If your mother granted power of attorney to you it allows you to act on her behalf, but she can also still act on her own. If she wants to revoke the power of attorney she can do so at any time, but given her diagnosis that may not be wise. It's likely the document will be needed again at some point in the future. The only proceeding that removes decision-making ability is a guardianship, which is done in the Probate Court (this is different than a power of attorney). Hope that helps!

Power of Attorney
New York
Can a power of attorney be revoked?
Can a power of attorney be revoked in the case where I appointed my brother as my power of attorney, but he has abused his authority by making financial decisions that are against my best interests, and I no longer trust him to act in my best interests? I granted him power of attorney due to a temporary disability, but I have since recovered and would like to regain control over my financial affairs.
Damien B.
Yes, a power of attorney can typically be revoked, provided you are mentally competent. Since you mentioned that you have recovered from the disability and no longer trust your brother to act in your best interests, you should be able to revoke the power of attorney and regain control over your financial affairs. You or an attorney can draft a Revocation of Power of Attorney, provide to your brother, banks and other entities to inform them of the revocation.

Durable Power of Attorney
North Carolina
Can someone who has POA & is a caretaker of a family member in an assisted living facility receive compensation for services rendered from the family member’s estate?
I have a cousin that has taken on sole responsibility for the care of my aunt (95 yrs old), who is now in an assisted living facility. He has spent countless hours handling the sell of her house, enrolling her into an assisted living facility, daily visits, taking her to doctor’s visits and handling any issues that may arise. Family members of my aunt would like to compensate my cousin for all his time spent in caring for my aunt. Can my cousin be paid a monthly compensation from my aunt’s estate? Can each family member sign a statement (and have it notarized) that they are in agreement for this money to be paid monthly to our cousin for his services? What steps would we need to take to make this happen? We just want to make sure it is all done legally.
Jazmin C.
I would say yes, especially if it is in the power of attorney that they can be compensated. If you want to reduce that down to a payment agreement, you can; it may not be necessary, but you can definitely do that. I would start with the durable power of attorney first!

Quitclaim Deed
North Carolina
Taxes related to quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from a family member. I was given a quitclaim deed transferring the title from them to me. I am trying to understand my tax liabilities related to this transfer of ownership. I am not sure if there are tax implications that I need to be aware of and I was hoping to get advice from a lawyer on how to proceed.
N'kia N.
A person who inherits property might be subject to taxes. This includes when the person receives a quitclaim deed for the property. However, the person's tax liabilities will ultimately depend in part on the location of the property itself. For legal guidance on the tax implications of inheriting North Carolina property, you might consider consulting with a knowledgeable North Carolina estate and tax planning attorney. Good luck!

Employment Contract
Florida
What's vacation time in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a new job and I was provided an employment contract to review. In the contract, there is a section about vacation time, but it is not very clear. I'm trying to understand what vacation time is included in the contract and what the expectations are for taking time off. I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of my rights and responsibilities regarding vacation time before I sign the contract.

You can create your own will. However, having an attorney draft it for you will ensure that your wishes are carried out in all circumstances. Doing it yourself without having any experience may cause many problems after your demise.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
