Her financial institution (Her Bank) were she gets her direct deposit from her social security check is asking in order for her son to deposits or making any withdraws for her or using her visa debt card needs a Durable Power of Attorney for Florida for her financials

Added: In that case, I would suggest that you might try to contact some local social service agency for a recommendation or assistance, or even the local Bar Association. I don't know where you are in Florida but once a week in Pinellas County the Bar Association used to hold a free clinic to assist people in need. I suspect that Bar Associations in other counties might offer similar services. Check around and good luck.
