No Power of Attorney and Parent Lost Capacity: Now What?

Dealing with a parent who has dementia but no Power of Attorney in place is an incredibly difficult and stressful situation. It is more common than you might think, and while it feels overwhelming, there are still legal paths you can take to protect your loved one. In this video, estate and elder law attorney Chuck Roulet explains exactly what happens when a parent can no longer make decisions and no legal documents are there to guide the way. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO Many people assume that being an adult child gives them automatic authority over their parents finances or medical care. Unfortunately, banks, doctors, and government agencies cannot legally work with you without a Power of Attorney. If that window has closed because of a loss of capacity, the only remaining option is usually going through the court system for Guardianship or Conservatorship. Chuck breaks down the legal process in Florida and Minnesota, including the expected timelines, the costs involved, and how the court evaluates capacity. We also discuss the critical question of asset protection. Can you still save your parents home and savings from nursing home costs once they are incapacitated? The answer is sometimes, but it requires specific legal strategies and court approval.
