Signing as Attorney in Fact
I have a General Power of Attorney over my brother and have been signing his checks and other documents with only his name (closely matching his signature). I understand that the ”appropriate” way to sign on his behalf is ”my name as Attorney-in-fact for his name”. Are there any legal consequences for not signing the ”suggested” way? After all, I have the General Power of Attorney to act on his behalf regardless. So what does it matter on the signature procedure?

Legal papers done in Texas legal in Indiana?
My 80 yr old mother had power of attorney, guardianship, living will, etc drawn up in Texas in 1999. She now resides in Indiana. Are these forms legal here or do they need to be redone?
Thank you for your assistance.

Durable financial power of attorney
My father is bedridden at home with hospice care. He is unable to leave the house. My mother has taken over paying the bills and the running of the home. According to their credit card co.;in order for them to put her on their acct with her as the primary cardholder; they need to see a financial power of attorney. We have a health care proxy, living will etc. With her named on it. We would like to purchase a durable financial power of attorney,,,,and we have two or more witnesses for it….But dad cannot leave the house or bed to sign in front of a notary. He is 84 and has parkinson’s and bladder cancer. We would like to be advised….Should we purchase the fin power of attorney with two witnesses on it and will it be valid considering the state of affairs in the house. They are married 60 yrs and mom is the secondary cardholder. Any advice will be well appreciated as times are very hard right now,,,and dad is very sick and wants things to be straightened out as soon as possible.
Thank you
sincerely
