They cannot obtain power of attorney over you. Unless a court specifically appoints them, and then there would have to be a competency hearing.
It means that you have to respect and obey your father and mother. They have the power to tell you what to do. They know whats better for you.
That could be grounds for revoking the power of attorney. It could also result in criminal charges for fraud.
No. If your sister/brother have the deed and the house has been signed over to them then it's theres. If your mother is still living and of sound mind, there is a possibility of her changing that (dependening on the circumstances.) If your mother has passed on then you can "contest the will" and this means you feel things are unfair. You have a right to see the Will and perhaps your mother has requested that the house/property have been sold and divided equally amongst her children. Often siblings can take full advantage of the elderly parents and it's called greed. Some siblings will take over as Power of Attorney to protect their elderly parent(s). This gives you the right to pay their bills, watch over medical expenses, etc., but as far as the Will the laws basically stop there as Power of Attorney. I suggest you get legal counsel on this problem and get to know your rights.
You had better be able to prove your sibling is squandering your mother's money. If you pretty much know then you are going to have a see a lawyer. Unfortunately, it was a bad idea for your mother to give Power of Attorney because it's pretty binding, but there are laws that come with it, so have it checked out by a lawyer and soon! Good luck Marcy
Yes, but you'll need to bring the power of attorney form and proof of who you are to the bank. If the teller doesn't know what a power of attorney is then all you have to do is get the manager. They always deal with power of attorney agents, and know what the form gives you authority to do, which is act on the behalf of the executor in all financial matters, except matters specifically stated in the form that the agent can't handle.
Of course not! A power of attorney must be granted by the person, it cannot be taken without a court order.
Wouldn't you have had to GIVE them power of attorney; like if you were sick or in jail or out of the country?
I guess this could vary by state, but everywhere I know of the answer is no, Medical Power of Attorney documents do not need to be filed with doctors.
A POA does not give the attorney-in-fact the power to change a will. A will signed by an attorney-in-fact would be invalid. A will must be signed by the testator.
That information is private and you are not entitled to it unless you have some legal business with the individual. You can ask the person if they have executed a power of attorney. You could check the person's name in the land records to see if any documents refer to a POA. Otherwise you may not know unless you have some business dealings with the person and an attorney in fact signs for them under a power of attorney.
