(Utah law also provides for a special power of attorney to make health care decisions for a person who is unable to communicate her own decisions). A very common form of power of attorney is the Durable Power of Attorney, which takes effect . upon incapacity of the person naming the power. The Durable Power of Attorney was intended to provide financial management for a person who is incapacitated: it does not create the legal authority to make other important personal decisions - like where, a person is to live and with whom they may associate. Those rights can only be taken away by due process of law in Guardianship or Commitment proceedings. Over and over, we at legal services and others who work with senior citizens. Adult Protective Services, and the Long Term Care Ombudsmen, encounter persons who are in nursing homes who do not warn to be there. Typically, a family member or friend has obtained a durable power of attorney, checked a perron into a nursing home and then sold the home. Unless the incapacitated perron has agreed to this plan (and some elderly perrons may agree and then forget), it is utterly proceedings in a court of law. There are sound reasons for these due process rights. There are probably no more basic and dear fundamental rights in our legal system than the rights to privacy and personal choice with respect to residence and association. Our courts have wisely determined that these rights may rally be taken away by a showing of dear and convincing evidence that the person is not longer capable of a rational decision making process. Of course, family and friends do not want to drag auntie poor ol through a humiliating court procedure - they would rather just manipulate and buffalo her into thinking she has no choice. I do not think this approach is fair, honest or respectful of elderly persons. I think they have the right to remain at home and have their assets and income used to support them in their home as long as that is their choice. Guardianship proceedings are now very reasonable. Guardianship Associates, Inc., which provides services under guardianship contract with the State of Utah, Adult Protective Services, can arrange for the legal proceedings to be draw at a very reasonable price well-meani- , (including proceedings). 533-020- 3, Call or write them at 180 South 300 West, Suite 202, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. illegal!
