-Could you explain your situation a little more?Was that diagnosis made before or after he signed the second power of attorney?
Before-
It is likely that the second power of attorney is not valid but you would have to go to Court to get that established. If the neurologist testifies that he lacks capacity because of dementia that developed after the first but prior to the second power of attorney, you can probably unglue the second power of attorney.You can get a free consultation from some of the Massachusetts attorneys listed by location athttp://lawyers.findlaw.com/lawyer/practicestate/Estate-Planning/MassachusettsI hope this information is helpful.
