My brother blackmailed my dad and forced my mom the make him dual POA. As soon as my dad died he had my mom locked up and put away because she was showing some signs of dementia. He has verbally, mentally, intimidated, manipulated financially and physically hurt my mom by controlling her through elder abuse. I live in the state of Wisconsin and amd trying to get the laws changed for POA's who abuse their rights over a person. I have tried to get my mom so I can care for her, but adult protective services and ombudsman have not helped at all. Attorneys don't even want to help with elder abuse. My mom had her life taken away from her because her son couldn't stand being around the f..in b..ch. He didn't want to help care for her at all even though he lives next door. All he did was b***h about his parents when they needed help. There were so many times he turned his back on them and didn't speak to them for years. If any one can help me with getting laws changed I would greatly appreciate it. I know I am not the only one out there having these kind of issues.
If your brother went online and downloaded documents and your Dad signed them in front of a notary and witnesses (as is the usual basic requirement to finalize such documents), then your Dad missed his chance to get out of this predicament.
As is often the case there is probably way more to your story. What about the currrent laws do not work to protect people? If your Dad was too afraid of his son, then this has nothing to do with PoA... it has to do with protecting the vulnerable. This is where APS or 911 can be called. But if your Dad covers for his son... there's nothing to be done.
If you can be specific about which law you wish to change, or what new law you would create, this would be helpful. Anything less and you are just punching around in the dark out of emotional distress.
