Sen. Dianne Feinstein's daughter has power of attorney over her
Insider ^ | 8/03/2023 | Brent D. Griffiths

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's daughter, Katherine, a former San Francisco judge, has a power-of-attorney agreement that grants her at least some say over the senator's affairs.

Last month, the younger Feinstein, now a San Francisco fire commissioner, filed a suit against the trust of the investor Richard Blum, the senator's late husband. In the legal filing, she identified herself as an "attorney in fact" for the Democratic lawmaker. The agreement allowed the former judge to file the suit on behalf of her mother.

It's unclear to what extent the younger Feinstein holds power over the 90-year-old lawmaker.

...

The New York Times, which reported extensively on the fight over Blum's trust, reported that Katherine Feinstein "has power of attorney over her mother's legal affairs." A spokesperson for Dianne Feinstein's Senate office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The senator has faced calls to resign from Congress because of persistent questions about her ability to fully serve as a senator. She missed nearly three months of congressional business in Washington after contracting shingles. She has also had multiple episodes where she appeared openly confused and unaware of what was taking place, including during a recent Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.

The younger Feinstein's lawsuit cited "significant medical expenses" her mother had incurred. The suit seeks to make her the sole trustee as her mother's replacement. The Feinsteins allege that two of Blum's associates who are acting as trustees have refused to reimburse the senator's medical expenses.

If you want to work 60+ hours a week when you’re 70+, you’re a sociopath.

If you must lord over the smelly Walmart people, you’re a sociopath, regardless of work ethic or age,

Considering what a miserable vicious anti freedom SOS she is no amount of abuse would be considered adequate to make up for the misery she’s caused the population of the USA over the years.

That part of her is dead. She’s just existing.

“By inference, that means that her unelected daughter controls that Senate seat. Sure, that's Constitutional.”

The daughter ought to consider running her mom for president.

“Strom Thurmond. Now that was elder abuse.”

Senator Thurmond kept Lindsey Graham out of the Senate for 48 years.

That, and going into Normandy on day one with the 82nd at age 42, makes him a hero.

Sorry he left us too soon.

I know what it means. In Senator Feinstein's case, it's directly necessary and as recent news reports share, does raise concern that she is equally not able to function independently as a senator.

I don't recall another time recently or in history where we've had so many infirmed or challenged or whatever politicians. Biden, Harris, Fetterman, Feinstein, Waters, McConnell, etc.

Ah, now she can sit in the senate and vote for her mother! (I know that that is probably illegal, but Schumer makes his own rules for the Democrapts in the Senate.) And If she decides to identify as Black/African-American, then mis-governor Newsome can appoint her to the Senate as fulfilling his pledge to appt a black female.

Any 90 year old should have signed a POA in order to give their kids the ability to act on their behalf.

The issue isn’t proper estate management. It’s geriatrics running the country.

Feinstein is a Democrat Senator, not a democratic senator.

There is nothing democratic about Democrats.

OK. Thanks for clarifying. She needs someone with POA, though...

...and a DANR!
