I'm not seeking free legal advice here, just an interpretation.
I have power of attorney for my 81 year old mother. Her financial planner is advising her that I need another document in order to be able to sign papers for her. Something called a "Bloomberg" [not sure of the spelling] power of attorney.
The whole thing sounds fishy to me.
Suggestions welcome! |

This is not legal advice:
"Blumberg" is a publisher of pre-printed legal forms that are available in stationery stores (usually the ones near a courthouse). The financial planner probably wants your mother to sign a durable power of attorney form. Lawyers and courts like Blumberg forms because, among other things, they are familiar with what they contain.
The form should cost a couple of bucks.
It is very important that the p/a form is the right one for the jurisdiction (the state) your mother lives/has property in, and that it is properly endorsed and witnessed according to law.
Check with your mother's attorney (or your attorney) to make sure everything is done properly.
It's a lot easier/simpler than it may sound.
