Under the laws of all states in this country a power of attorney can be drafted placing a person as the attoney in fact for the disabled person assuming the disabled person agrees to such where the attorney in fact will cease as of a certain date when an underage sibling turns 21 years of age where such sibling agrees to such a responsibility.
I suggest that a Wills and trust attorney be consulted with respect to your inquiry to draw up the desired documentation.
