We are estranged from our daughter. Should we change our Power of Attorney? She changed her phone number and I don't have it. She won't answer her email. We are elderly and soon will need a POA.

Dear Friend, I can only share what DH and I did. It may be different for each family. We changed our will. If there is no respect being shown from an EC we can not honor or trust them. That is the case with our ED.
Pray first to see how the Lord leads. God bless you.

Renate,
How long have you been estranged?
If it's a recent development, then you might want to consider holding off. If it's been months or years, I would think you might want to at least have a contingency POA.
Discuss it with a few good people whose counsel you respect. Your attorney, financial advisor, pastor and even trusted friends.
Even if you are elderly, don't be backed into a corner or make rash decisions. God is in the details and He will give you peace, no matter your decision.
Hugs & prayers

Thank you. We have estranged (est) from DD for a year. I had no idea she was disgruntled. Until out of the blue she calls us with all kinds of stuff that is bugging her.

Welcome renatek8. I'm sorry for the circumstances that brought you here, but you are among friends and other parents who understand. Everyone's situation is a little bit different, but in my case, I decided to turn my will into a trust. If my estranged daughter hasn't cared to see or speak with me for 8 years, I didn't want to give her the opportunity to step out of the darkness once I'm gone to see what she can collect. Everything is in trust to my son who treats me wonderfully. To my daughter, I've left a letter explaining my sorrow in her decision.
I pray the Lord leads you to make the decision that's right for you and your DH. Blessings....
