Is it possible to name a POA and secondary POA without their knowledge? It appears that the court records identify the two people but they claim they did not sign anything and did not agree to be named. Is that possible? Also, my daughter was named the medical POA without her agreeing or signing the paperwork. Is any of this legal?
You want somebody to accept a considerable, if purely hypothetical, burden of responsibility on your behalf; and you don't *ask*?
It's like when my sig other gets upset with his grown children, he will make an appointment with his Elder Law Attorney to make changes to his Trust. There is the expense of the Attorney, and the expense of registering yet another document with the Court House if that was required.
I had to show my driver's license which was noted on the document, and that page needed to be Notarized.
In my County, POA's and Wills do not need to be recorded at the Court House.
I find it so interesting how States do things differently from other States.
If the people named don't want the responsibility they can resign.
