A grand daughter has power of attorney and is taking advantage purchasing expense item for herself and fighting to spend a money on my mom. She has power of attorney and is using my poor mom who loves her dearly. My mom feel sorry for her and she is getting away with this, what can i do to protect my mom?
In hindsight, there are so many people who selected the wrong person to be their POA. They thought with their heart instead of a logical mind. So many people end up with drained bank accounts, and then become burdens on their families because they have no other place to turn or they can't get benefits. For that reason alone, you should seek legal advice.
In a perfect world, anyone who is POA should keep squeaky clean financial records if for no other reason but to protect themselves if any of the family questions or accuses them. The POA may not be doing anything wrong but if lawyers are brought in, then they'll have to fork over some cash to defend themselves.
Good luck!
Can you go to her lawyer and tell them what the granddaughter is doing?
It probably wouldn't hurt. They may be able to advise you as to what you can do.
Good luck.
