Does anyone about durable power of attorney in the State of Florida?

I have my elderly mother in the hospital now and the question has come up about being a legal medical power of attorney. Do I need to go to an attorney for this or is there a place where I can download a free form and then have it signed by her and notarized. When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we basically had a family conference with the physicians involved and social services and the decision was made conjointly for hospice and comfort measures only. He had not left any advanced directives, living will, or medical power of attorney, so I wonder about all of this. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

power of attorney
by QA mgr says im supposed to capitalize but i dont agree (so i dont, hehe)
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?
contact the attorney general for their state
and never let them get away with that.
this business gets worse every day. it is really a shame, but soon it will be even worse! it gets worse seriously, every single day. Years ago this was decent and every single year I face more BS and hear more BS. We need a frigging revolution. FAce it...! India cannot make it w/o our editing skills. They stink at this typing. We need to unite but probably wouldn't get the cooperation.
Try calling attorney general for your state....

Florida here, No state tax but...sm
I have had to pay occupational license tax for my township and also the city yearly the past 3 years.........but the IRS never penalizes me for paying my taxes yearly for the private side.....I also work for a nat'l and they do take out taxes.
She needs to call her State Attorney General's office and the police.
She has been scammed. She'll be lucky if they don't continue drawing off her account or do identity theft since she gave out her private information.
File complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, your state attorney general, and the SM
state attorney general for the state The VLC is located in. I happened to check it out and they have offices in Niagara Falls, NY and in Ontario. Be sure to forward copies of every thing your file to them. You can fill online complaint forms at the FTC website and the NY Attorney General's website. Print out copies of these forms and mail copies of them after you fill them out to the school with a letter basically stating that you have reported them to these agencies and they will be intervening for you on this matter.
I also like the idea of putting cc's on your correspondence to a local news reporter. And call them every single day until they are tired of hearing from you!
Good Luck!
florida not small state - over 20 million people
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
Get an attorney now
Find an attorney that will take your case - then let them write the letter. Just talk to a couple who handle medical malpractice -these are severe medication errors.
attorney general
good idea. I have contacted an attorney already (I am a corp by myself so I have access to an attorney) and he states that legally there is nothing right now that I can do. I can possibly sue them later down the road, but they have not done anything illegal. He suggested to try and "sugar" them into paying me. I will contact the attorney general's office. The company and I are in the same state, so that helps tremendously.
Get an attorney and have them draw one up for you. sm
It costs about $200 and well worth it!
You can usually call an attorney and
But, you do have a receipt and the title. Let the person go ahead and make a fool of himself. You owe him nothing, don't let him bully you.
PS - Am very sorry for your loss.
He was my divorce attorney

Call an attorney, but ....sm
In the state of NC a few years back, one person could not force the other to sell in this situation. I went through something similar with my siblings. I ended up buying their portions.
But, no, at that time and again in my state, you cannot be forced.
You get an attorney to type it up...sm
My dad's attorney typed it up for me and I had it notarized and then MAKE TONS OF COPIES because you have to prove you are able to make decisions for your Mom. I had this power of attorney for 10 years, my dad dying last January.
I suppose you could get some form.....even probably at Office Depot...I got a living will there, actually a package of them. It's just more complete to have an attorney do this 2-page paper for you...and not terribly expensive either.
Best of luck to you and your Mom. 
Consult an attorney....
He'll tell you everything you need to know to operate a business, and it will be an hour's worth of money well spent......
You need a good attorney NOW!! My
friend's sister died at the age of 51 because a doctor prescribed birth control pills for the mood swings of menopause without first checking her triglycerides or doing any blood work. Her triglycerides were very elevated, and the addition of the medication caused her pancreas to shut down and she died. There is a big lawsuit on this one, too.
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...
letter. I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved. It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent. I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.
Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 
If you hire an attorney (sm)
you an also request reimbursement for your expenses, court costs and attorney fees. I would mention this in my letter to the MTSO also. If this MTSO does this to you I guarantee you are not the only person they are doing it to.
Good luck
I think you should consult an attorney
who specializes in modifications and have them do a forensic audit of your loan. Are you in one of those toxic arms? WFB might be forced to modify your loan if attorney discovers any discrepancies. If you don't want to consult an attorney I would suggest calling the lender and asking to speak to someone in the loss mitigation department. The regular Joes in customer service aren't qualified to help you. Be prepared to reference paystub/bill information and spend awhile on the phone. I wish you well.
I power nap too!
I doze for about 10-15 minutes, but usually only when I didn't get enough sleep the night before. Usually, a cup of coffee and a quick break and I'm good to go again.
power nap
 Finally got the hang of it and can fall asleep pretty quickly, but now I don't get up with the alarm, cause I know it's going to stop soon, so I sleep through it, or at least wait for it to stop. No discipline? Suggestions?
I was over it right away...he is still in power
Hmm. Every doc, nurse, attorney, accountant
I know is making WAY good money and none are working at McD's!!! LOL
Husband is a corporate attorney
He makes more than I do - obviously.
We must follow our attorney's advice. (NM)

so you think that shrub has the power to
change Islams into Christians? That is just not going to happen, no more than you could change me into a Muslim! No, he needed to go after Bin Laden, a friend of the shrub family, as you may or may not remember. Do you know that he stole away a bunch of Saudi Arabians out of the US the night of 9/11 or 9/12? His buddies. He had to go after somebody and was not going to be Bin Laden, so he thought, and he thought right, that the religious rightwing would accept getting Saddam out of the way. Now professing to want to bring Christianity and freedom to the Muslim world. OMG, if that is not megalomania, I don't know what is!

And that's cool...more power to ya!!
And you are quite fortunate to have found what you love to do! Take care!
Yup, real power comes
.. when you do the "right thing", even tho you want to pile all his stuff up, douse with gasoline, and throw the match! Revenge can be sweet in the moment, whether in words or actions, but the regret lasts a looooong time, and it gives him something to throw back at you and your kids. This way, you can be proud to hold your head up and just keep movin' on......
Car power supply.
I use a power converter that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $35. I keep it in the car all the time.
I take a 10-minute power nap (sm)
When I find myself to the point of not being able to focus, I set my timer for 10 minutes and sleep on the couch. I usually can finish my shift, but I sometimes have to take a little nap again later. I work 5 hours during the day and my last 3 hours from 9 to midnight. Sometimes, I also step outside when it's cold. I hate being cold, so that really wakes me up. No amount of caffeine will wake me up. I am almost to the point of finding just a part-time job during the day because it is hard to be productive at night when all I want to do is crawl into bed. Good luck!
You might need a power boosted USB hub sm
That is, if the one you are using is not. I had this problem with the standard USB hub. IT fella on one of my jobs suggested a buy a USB hub that plugs in, so it has a power boost. No more problems for me. Oh and it was not pricey, I think I paid $20 with shipping and the shipping was half that amount (YIKES).
Power naps.

It's a power issue..
The power to make you miserable if they have to pay for your services. ;-)

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?
Thanks.
My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.

It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.
It may be well worth it.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
Cool! My DS has a BS in criminal justice and my DH is an attorney!

How do you get a free attorney if you are solvent and working? SM
Even if you have stuff like a nice car, a nice home, charge cards that you pay for every month, you still may not have money for a lawyer. Never mind about irresponsibility living too close to the edge. A lot of us do that.
I agree, she should discuss it with her attorney but personally,
I would wait until the final papers are signed before I bought another house.
Go into coding more ## or the legal end of the medical for an attorney

They are predicting 3-5 days with no power. SM
We live 65 miles from Galveston. We shouldn't flood. If the hurricane reaches a 5, which is a good possibility, it will be about a 3 when it reaches us. We have a new roof and no big trees around us. We are cleaning out the garage to put the car in and the dogs. We are wedging the garage door and the windows. We are also putting boards up over the back patio sliding glass door. The living room is the middle of the house, but we have that patio door there. We have no inner closets or anything. It is only about a 1600 SF house. That is why I would worry about a tornadoe. We don't have any renter's insurance or flood insurance. If we stay, we could at least move stuff to higher ground if water started coming in. They freeways are already filling up, and I have to work. I wish there was some way to get my kids to their grandma in Dallas and stay here myself with my husband. They are only 4 and 6, so flying by themselves is out of the question.  I am just going to see what tomorrow brings and then go from there. If it gets to a 5 though, we are going to have to leave.
