My mother is 91 but has been more erratic as the years go buy and has become paranoid about everything. I am worried about her being susceptible to scams and am trying to gain hold of her affairs. She recently lost her medicaid because supposedly she didn't file something in time and now I have to refile. I think I would need a power of attorney but how does one get this? She has also become so paranoid that she might not grant it to me. If she doesn't, what would be the process to be able to get guardianship over her affairs in good faith? I am her only child. My father died 3 years ago.
