Does this give the “Public Guardian” power of attorney over Mr. Kessler’s bank accounts? I’ve read stories of this happening and the “guardian” wiping out her charge’s accounts.
I wonder if there are any family members.
It’s wise to take preemptive action for one’s sunset years. While a will is important, a power of attorney and health care surrogate are more so. If this couple had planned for someone specific to take care of them, the chances are good that this would not happen.
