I'd recommend that you consult an attorney to confirm this, but it appears that since you don't qualify as "immediate family" for the purposes of the Form 2848, you would need Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship."A fiduciary is treated by the IRS as if the fiduciary is actually the taxpayer. Upon appointment, the fiduciary automatically has both the right and the responsibility to undertake all actions the taxpayer is required to perform. For example, the fiduciary must file returns and pay any taxes due on behalf of the taxpayer."
