My mom's nursing home refused my poa which mom signed in front of my notary who traveled to the home and charged me $55.00 insinuating my mom didn't sign mine. They instead accepted one from my sister dated 2006. Do I have any recourse? I do not like being accused of fraud. Has anyone else ever had this happen?
You might check your document which granted you POA. Did it revoke your sister's? It might be that you and your sister have equal rights and only checking both documents will give you the answer. Also, is your mother mentally competent? Is your POA durable? that is does it provide for its effect if she becomes incompetent? Get a copy of your sister's and compare it with yours.
Is there a difference between your and your sister's concern and care for your mom or is this (excuse the expression) merely a power struggle between the two of you. You need to be honest with yourself on this one and I draw no conclusions from your question. I'm just an old retired lawyer who has seen so many family fights.
