My wife and I are going to be taking care of her 14 year old brother. The Dad is unknown and the Mom is deported. Currently my wife's sister is taking care of him, but both sisters agree that he would be much better off in our home.
With both parties agreeing, we are trying to go through the proper routes to gain control/custody/guardianship.
Currently the sister has a power of attorney signed by the Mother 12 years ago. She is planning to give us a power of attorney. Is that going to be enough? Will we have all the legal rights as a parent would if we get the power of attorney?
Please advise.
Thank you.
