Elder Law, If my mother or father is not able to handle his or her own financial matters, what can I do? You Might Also Like Will having a durable power of attorney prevent the need for a conservatorship? Can I add my daughter's or son's name to my bank account instead of having a power of attorney? If I give my agent immediate powers, do I forfeit all rights to make financial decisions? Do I have to wait five years after giving anything away to get Medicaid? I am single. What happens if I have to go to a nursing home?
