A friend is very sick in hospital and just sold his ranch. His Executor and POFA is refusing to dialogue with the

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.

Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me. Some of the other experts do take calls and so you are very welcome to request a call on this post and an expert may take it. They will have the benefit of reading our exchange which should work out very well for everyone involved!

I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

Is your friend mentally competent right now?

If your friend is competent he can sign documents on his own or he can provide a new power of attorney that would take affect now when he's competent or later when he's not competent. He can revoke any power of attorney that he has already signed.

If he really is incompetent now then someone has to apply to the court to be appointed as his legal guardian and then they will make decisions about his care and finances.

Does that help?

If he appointed all three to add jointly then yes two can outvote the other.

Thank you for trusting us to help you here at JustAnswer.   If you need more clarification or have a follow-up question just reply and we can continue our dialogue. If you would like to ask me new questions please start a new post and if you do if you say “This is only for Debra” I will be sure to give your post top priority.
