Q: Does POA daughter have final say whether Mom gets vaccinated? Mom lives alone and is of sound mind. Mom has 5 daughters
All daughters do not agree. The oldest thinks she has the final say and other daughters are not allowed to take her to get vaccinated without her approval.
A: The short answer is no. Mom makes the decision for herself and the other daughters can help mom get vaccinated if she wants to. The POA only gives the daughter the ability to act in mom's place for those things she was designated to do (usually financial matters), it is not a power over the mom.
