If you have to give PoA to someone you shouldn’t be in an elected position. If you can’t be in control over yourself, you shouldn’t have control over the country.
It’s crazy to me the difference in mental acuity between older individuals. Like it’s there in all age brackets, but the older folk spread just seems so much larger and obvious to me.
I am not trying to downplay the situation, as I am completely aware of just how much her health has declined recently.
That said, I have a 91 year old friend who wakes up at 4:30 every morning and heads to his log yard and gets to work. He doesn’t slack. He literally works like a man half his age (or better). It blows my mind seeing him in action. He runs multiple companies, bosses over 60 people, handles the affairs of his family, and legit is just a powerhouse of a human being.
It’s crazy to me, sometimes when I talk to him it just smacks me in the face how he was 15 years old in 1947.
So much has changed in his lifetime. He’s an interesting case if nothing else.
I should probably talk to him about more personal things and record it.

Typically PoA is instated before someone has a mental decline.
But at 90, that’s probably already begun.
Probably?
More like obviously but it’s not because of age. My grandad was sharp as a tack up until 96.
Pneumonia got him.

Well it is because of age but also genetics and lifestyle choices.

Now I want to watch a documentary on this guy!
I don’t think her mental state is a question at this point. She’s obviously not able to make decisions for the country right now.
Well you obviously know very little about estate planning.
