Power Of Attorney Dispute

Summary

In Oregon, a new power of attorney (POA) should be respected if properly executed. If a facility fails to acknowledge a new POA, it may lead to legal disputes. Consider consulting an elder law attorney to address the facilitys actions and potentially file a complaint with the Oregon Department of Human Services. Legal guidance can help navigate the complexities of POA disputes and ensure proper acknowledgment of your rights.

Hello
Hi there! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My grandma was in an assisted living facility and she signed revocation papers of the poa and signed new durable power of attorney paperwork and handed it to the facility she was in and they kicked my grandmothers guests out which was her daughter and others and then the poa that was revoked had us trespassed from the facility
It sounds like a complex situation involving revocation of a power of attorney (POA) and issues at the assisted living facility.
- When your grandmother signed the new POA, was it properly notarized and witnessed?
- Have you or your grandmother received any formal communication regarding the trespass or revocation?
These details can help determine the next steps.
There were two witnesses and in Oregon it does not need to be notarized
Given that the new POA was properly witnessed, the next step would be to check if the facility acknowledged the new POA and if there are any formal communications regarding the trespass.
- Has the facility provided any written notice or explanation for the trespass?
- Did the facility acknowledge the new POA in writing?
These details can help determine the best course of action.
they did not acknowledge the new poa they immediately called the old poa and she went to the police station and had us trespassed for these she said was trying to revoke the poa and mess with my grandmas hospice care. She died a few days later and we never got to see her
