Power of Attorney for Elderly Parent My mother suffers from bi-polar depression.

Power of Attorney for Elderly Parent
My mother suffers from bi-polar depression. When my father was alive it was not a major problem. He passed away in Feb. and her condition has gotten out of control. When she is up she goes on huge spending sprees. She is now in her down period and has not left the house for months. My brother and I have power of attorney which goes into effect ”when her doctor determines she can no longer make decisions for herself”. How do we get the power of attorney to go into effect if we cannot get her to go to the doctor to be checked out? She needs help immediately. She has lot about 50 pounds in the last 4 months. We need to get control over her health and finances ASAP. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

This past year I started to notice that my 82 year widowed mother’s mind was beginning to slow down somewhat,so I sat down with her and dicussed with her to give me Power of Attorney over her estate and she was most willing to do so. The first of Jan. 2010 we had all legal paper work processed and recorded giving me the POA. Let me also mention that I have one living sibling (brother) who is married to the wicked witch of the south and she and my brother did not know that our mother had given me POA,because they had been taking advantage of mother and her generous giving heart and were actually robbing her of her income on a monthly basis,always using some desperate excuse of needing monthly,so she would write $200-$800 at a time and with her mind slowing slipping away,would forget she had given the funds to them,so I felt as she was being taken advantage of so I am now POA of her estate. Here’s the problem & question: They,not knowing I had POA,came and took my mother and also had her sign them as her (mother) as POA of her estate,and since I already had it done a month ago,which of us is the true and legal POA for our mother????

Small Claims Forms:
My brother had just rented a house two weeks before he was incarcerated. My brother had paid the landlord two months rent with a deposit.
The landlord entered the house on the second day of my brothers confinement and removed all his property to an open and unsecured garage. The landlord then re-rented the house.
The landlord gave me very little time to take possession of my brothers property. 4 days to be exact!

The landlord knew which jail my brother was in but made no attempt to contact him with news of his property being removed from the house he had just rented.

My brother assigned Power of Attorney to me because he is incarcerated in a TX jail. I live in California. I’m trying to file a small claims suit on behalf of my brother but I’m confused as to how I must properly fill out the claim and waiver of fee forms. Do I include myself as a second Plantiff representing the first Plantiff or vice versa?
I also don’t understand what a Correctly Styled Suit means?

Do I include the date on the Affidavits? Finally, on the Affidavit of Indigency do I provide for my brothers financial status or my financial status?

Do I send two copies of each form sent to me by the Court, back to the Court?
