In Georgia, a legal spouse usually has priority in guardianship decisions, especially if the other spouse objects. But that does not necessarily mean that you can't obtain guardianship.

Georgia probate courts focus on:

- What is in your mother’s best interest
- Whether the spouse is capable and acting appropriately
- Whether a guardian is actually needed

A Power of Attorney must generally be signed while the person still has enough mental capacity to understand:

- What they are signing
- What powers they are giving
- Who they are appointing

If your dad is now unable to understand those things, he likely cannot legally create a new power of attorney but that doesn't mean you're out of options. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3RfDneh

If your main goal is to make sure a child inherits your home, there are usually a few good options — and the cost can range from very inexpensive to a few thousand dollars depending on how much planning you need.
