Legal risks exist for elderly parents who appoint children as power of attorney agents without considering family relationships, health, and financial care needs, and how to ensure transparency. Even in the best of families, disagreements occur, and the potential for manipulation and bad decisions exists. Caregiving expert, expert witness, and consultant Pamela D. Wilson shares insights and experiences from 25 years of professional work with older adults and their children. Because an agent's actions under a power of attorney for healthcare or financial matters can significantly impact a parent's life, Wilson discusses the importance of identifying potential concerns and planning for the unexpected. Parents appointing children as power of attorney over other children must consider the possibility that children in power may withhold information, isolate parents, manipulate, cause intrafamily conflict, and potentially harm an elderly parent in their efforts to control day-to-day care. Other children may feel powerless to help parents caught in these principal-power-of-attorney-agent relationships that the parent legally established, unless provisions are in place to support transparency and allow questioning of an agent's actions through a formal family process.
