Sure, but then he'd have to show up in person to sign the POA
paperwork.

Really? The lawyer writes up the paperwork, flies to Rome, they
get a Vatican notary and maybe a couple of bishops to witness,
the lawyer takes it back to Michigan.

This is an unfunny sideline
I have a very rich client who last february fell ill with
pneumonia had major complications and is living in a rehab
facility for 14 months now
The bulk of the money is with me, but he obviously has some bank
accounts and cds and such. The person appointed his legally
documented power of attorney sent me a copy of the form, I was
able to talk to the client on the phone, and the POA has access
to the money.
The bank however would not authorize the poa despite the
document without the client going in to the bank, which was
physically impossible and they had to pay a lawyer a chunk of
cash and it took them months to access the account.
Elder abuse and POA fraud are a huge huge huge thing with
Illinois regulators. Huge.
It is way way way better to have the poa named and added while
you are healthy and able,their idea being if you healthy enough
to sign the poa you are healthy enough to verify in person.
Your regulatory dollars at work.
Has anyone seen Lab and Leo at the same time?
[/quote]
Yes... with my dad some banks were pretty painless about
honoring his POA, but others seemed to be weaponizing
incompetence. Fax it to their legal team, which lost it.
Multiple times. The day I was able to stop doing business with
that bank was one of the happiest days of my life.

Perfect!
I was thinking perhaps a new mosquito. They serve no useful
purpose*, hurt you and leave a lasting reminder of the
hurt/bite. Sure, it will go away eventually, but having to
endure it in the meantime is torture.
*ok, I know some other insects eat them, but those can eat other
things instead. They don't need mosquitos!

Some birds eat mosquitos too. Some of the birds are very pretty
and don't necessarily have a lot of alternative insects in their
area to eat.
