Q: can I get DPOA for my 20 year old daughter who is in coma if her boyfriend is trying to use his rights as POA with tax
I had POA medical firsts they didn't listen to him say he was common law but the only thing he's provided was proof of taxes together but I believe he's controlling mentally abusive shes going to have Brain damage can't let her go back. Weak-minded and moldable if she says I'm ok it's fine then I will let go
A: No. The person giving you the POA (your daughter) has to be the one giving you the POA and she cannot do that in a coma. You have options if the boyfriends POA does not continue through incapacitation but you would need to have an attorney review it. If that is the case then you may be able to get some stuff done but you will need an attorney to assist you.
