Q: I have questions regarding the power of attorney. I have a family member in need of one.
My 90 year old father lives in the Los Angeles area and is in need of a power of attorney, My name is Steve Jones and I live in St. Louis, MO I will be in Los Angeles next week to start the process of finding out what can be done. My father wants to remain in Los Angeles he does not want to live in St. Louis. There are no relatives in LA who can take on this responsibility. Once I arrive in Los Angles I will need to talk to an attorney who can advise me on what can done in this situation.
A: Hi Steve, The rules here prohibit any professional from contacting you directly. I do, however, recognize your concerns for your father. If you would check www.naela.org (National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys), you can search by zip code as Los Angeles is a geographically very large area in CA. These are attorneys who focus on the very specific needs you and your father are looking for. There are many well-qualified elder law attorneys in that area.
