Ask a Solicitor: What's a DMR, and when should I get one?

My mother has dementia and often doesn’t make sense anymore, but she doesn’t have a power of attorney in place. Is there anything that we can do to make decisions?

Dear Angela,

My mother was diagnosed with dementia some years ago. She lives with my husband and me on our family farm. The farm has been in her sole name since my father died four years ago.
