My sister wants to change her POA. She is in a facility and wants and needs to go home. She has alzheimers but can make her own decisions about changing her POA. My brother wants her to stay in the facility basically so he doesnt have to deal with her. She is in Jackson, NJ and we all live out of state. I am the closest living in Connecticut
