What do do when there is no durable power of attorney
My Grandfather is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s. To date he has refused to sign a power of attorney. He has been getting increasingly aggresive with my Grandmother and has recently started to threaten her. He still functions on many basic levels, but cannot remember events from one minute to the next. From the research I’ve done, it sounds like when the time comes that he needs to be placed in a long-term facility our only option will be requesting that the courts appoint a guardian. (I love him dearly, but I also know that he will never willingly leave his home.) I guess my question is, is a guardianship the best way to handle this? It is getting to the point where my Grandmother’s safety may become an issue. At the same time, if we remove her from the home there is no way the he can survive day to day. I appreciate any advice you might have. I am lost.
