Take care. I hope your mother gets the care she needs. That's the important thing here.

I think the clause is something like this: Any provision in the power of attorney waiving or requiring the rendering of inventories and accounts shall govern, and a power of attorney that waives the requirement to file inventories and accounts need not be filed with the clerk of superior court.
I think this is commonly done by parents who implicitly trust their adult children, however this opens the opportunity for elder fraud no matter who is the POA.
