Hello,
My aunt is in long-term care home is 78 and has Alzhimer's. She recently stated she signed some paper work over to me. However, i am not PoA. I tried to contact the PoA. She then responded . My aunt has. Alzheimer's disease and once she was deemed unable to handle her own finances, my role as Power of Attorney (which she chose years ago) became effective.
As Power of Attorney, I am not obligated or even permitted to share any of her legal or financial information with you. Anything I am doing is in accordance with he" I'll end it here. I thought this was kinda rude and condensending. Considering I was just asking about what paper work. I don't want anything to do with her POA. I don't get what she was being so RUDE?! Thanks.
I am assuming she became POA while aunt was still competent to appoint her. If not, she truly can't be POA. But be that as it may, if Aunt signed things over to you then that is something you will likely find out when her will is read. Or when someone is appointed executor of her estate and she has died.
As to rudeness? Who really cares. Just move on with life.
If something about Aunt's finances involves you, then you'll hear from the POA. Considering she has Alzheimers, I'd take what your aunt says with a grain of salt.
Your aunt is no longer competent and the poa is correct,s/he can't divulge any information you. It's just something you need to let go of.
