Currently Mom is 88. I am one of her 5 children. Several years ago, prior to her Dementia starting, she appointed my 2nd oldest brother as her POA for all of her finances as well as medical, and put me as 2nd in command so to speak, should my brother decide he's done. The rest of us siblings were fine with Mom's decision.
Mom has Dementia and it is moving right along. She has begun to have some 'minor' medical issues. Even though 2nd oldest has POA (financially & medically), and by rights can just go ahead and do whatever for Mom, he always, keeps everyone 'in the loop'. The youngest, Mom wrote off, out of her life, at the earliest stages of Dementia but still in her "right mind". The oldest lives out of state.
I guess we are fortunate, in that we all get along, have no problem communicating with each other about all of this. It was the same way when Dad passed. There were no arguments.
