Durable Power of Attorney
My husband is in a dimentia center. I moved and I lost the original Durable POA he signed, took a copy to my bank and tried to move $6000 from my husbands ira into our checking acct to pay for his rent they would not accept my copy. I need to pay his rent. What do I do now without the original.

If the bank will not accept a copy of a Durable POA, you can petition the court to be appointed as his Guardian. A new POA will be invalid if he suffers from dementia.

If the bank will not accept a copy of the DPOA, you can file a Petition to be appointed his guardian and the court will issue an order that will allow you to handle your husband’s affairs.
