I need to get health care and financial power, On behalf of my grandmother who came down with Alzheimer's disease a year ago, his health is good, and I recognized without any problem, she only has a loss short-term memory.

(I mean, even a tax Lawer?) What kind of lawyer is best to do this? How much? (3) Is considered not mentally competent, due to EA?
There is a problem if your grandmother has Alzheimer's disease – they can not have the legal capacity to sign a power of attorney. I was involved in three situations in the past 5 years, when a person does not have the ability to sign a power of attorney. This is a decision that must be made by a lawyer after consultation with a family doctor, because there are different degrees of Alzheimer's disease. The key is whether someone is competent to understand the document to be signed. I regret that there is no easy answer. There is also a legal issue, probably more of interest to attorneys general public. Who is the customer? Is that you? Is it your grandmother? There are issues of potential conflict of interest. The power of attorney needs to be signed by the director [of the person granting the power]. The agent of [the person is given the power] in some jurisdictions is not necessary to sign the power. In Pennsylvania, there are special requirements under the law regarding the form and execution of a power of attorney. In Pennsylvania, the agent must sign an acknowledgment that you understand the requirements of the document and must keep records separately on behalf of the principal and must not mix the funds of the director with his.
