Voluntary Surrender of Competency
My father is elderly, legally blind and living in the Vet’s home, far from the next of kin. I am his Attorney-In-Fact through his Durable Power of Attorney. My father no longer wants to make ANY medicial or finacial decisions regarding decisions on his own any more. He suffers from cancer, Parkinson’s and other age related hardships. The Vet’s home refuses to disclose his medical reports or conditions to me or my father. Can he voluntarily surrender all decisions to me in a lawful way that the medical staff will be required by law to make timely reports to me, so that I can make the neccessary decisions for my father’s medical care? The Durable Power of Attorney doesn’t seem to matter to the California Veterans Administration or the Veterans Home of California – Chula Vista. Please help.

Liability of attorney-in-fact
My wife has durable power of attorney for her mother who resides in a rest home and is physically incapacitated. Hse had a prior credit card debt that was turned over to collection- with interest and penalties-$11,000. Mom’s income is from SS and is barely enough to pay her rest home expenses. The collection agency has stated to us that since my wife has power of attorney, that my wife and I are liable for this debt and it could ruin our credit if we don’t pay it. Is this true?
