If she is unwilling to sign a power of attorney document, you will need to take up an adult guardianship lawsuit. Connecticut appears to have adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, which typically will simplify what is required to draft a power of attorney document. An attorney should be able to do that for you cheaply here on Contracts Counsel. However, if your mother will not voluntarily sign a power of attorney document, then you will have to try to obtain a guardianship. I should mention that the uniform power of attorney document may not allow medical decision making, so you may need a more complicated document. Either way, you will need to speak to an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

I certainly could have a detailed conversation, for free, and see how I can assist. I have more than 30 years experience as a lawyer in New Jersey, and I also am a trained mediator. If you want to contact me, we can schedule a mutually convenient time for a review of the circumstances.

Revoking power attorney
T. Phillip B.
Typically anything written which indicates you are revoking it should be sufficient. It should be delivered to your agent. I would also deliver it to any banks or other places where your agent may use the POA.

Trying to become a poa
My uncle needs a power of attorney

A POA is best done through an attorney to ensure the verifying/interested parties are proper, the agreement includes what the principal wants, the principal is competent in case of a challenge and it's filed properly if necessary, for example if it will be used to transfer property. All persons should have a POA, HCPOA, Advanced Directives and Will. You can also pull the POA form out of the general statutes of NC. The form is included in the law.

Do I need a lawyer to get a power of attorney

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.

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.
