sorry, but no dice. power of attorney is something they would have to give to you. you can't declare it. just as you can't go pick a house and make the owner sell it to you. it has to be their choice and they would have to have the necessary papers drawn up for it to have any legal standing.

Check with a lawyer. Initial consultations of half an hour are usually free. For his own welfare, there are still procedures and considerations to follow. Check with the AARP for a lot of ideas about how to help. Remember it may be upsetting for him to leave his long-time home. I remember we had to take Grandpa's driver's license away from him with the sheriff after he backed into a bunch of cars downtown and then almost destroyed the garage, all because he couldn't turn his head any more and his cataracts made it so he couldn't see! They can be very stubborn and need some "easing into it."

No, what you need to do, is be appointed his guardian, through the court.

if you can't do it yourself hire a care giver. You shouldn't make him move to accommodate you.
