My Fiance had POA for her 85 YR old dad, who she cares for 24 hrs. She had POA. Her brothers got mad at her and Essentially bullied her dad into signing POA to them, superceding hers. His capacity was certainly questionable. He didn't remember the next day what he had signed, but that is a separate issue. SHe had joint bank accounts with her dad. The brothers went to the banks and had her removed from the accounts, and themselves added, without her father's knowledge. They say the banks made them take her off, and "roll over" the joint ststus to them. the two questions are:

Are they lying that they had to take her off joint accounts?

Is this a case of abuse of the Power of Attorney

A few months ago my mom lost carry on the plain bag which was holding important documents and other valuables worth $2000 +. My mom was in a wheelchar at the waiting area. An employee that was assisting the persons in need to abort on the plain was told by my mother not to touch her bag because it has valuables & shes keeping it w/ her. The same gentleman later went for my mom to abort her on the plain & relized that he had the bag while pushing her on the wheelchair. To make this story short,mom had dozed off when the employee grabbed the bag, but never gave it back to her & all employees werent hearing her & the gentleman was moving here to there in fast pase & either acted thst he didnt hear my mom calling out to him or he wasnt trying to hear her. No one was able to do anything on her behalf to help her,bad service all around. She needs justice & recover het property.

What can be done for her?

Thank you for your time.

Should my 82 year old uncle have his two nieces and one nephew (me) listed as Durable Power of Attorney's as a lawyer recommends, despite my uncles statement that he wanted his nephew listed as DPOA, saying "one is enough" (statement not personally heard by the lawyer, but the message was delivered by the nephew)?

Background history:

Nephew has been taking part time care of uncle - including finances, delivering food, picking up house, etc. for last two years.

Uncle has total trust in nephew. Nephew has been trustworthy.

Two nieces & two nephews (one nephew out of state) listed in will as equal shares.

Uncle has stated he wanted leave care giving nephew disproportionate share of estate, nephew convinced uncle not to change will & to leave well enough alone"

Since 2001, by uncles choice and for reasons known to him, he wanted the nieces to "stay out of his life".

This last month nieces have re-entered his life (& so far he is ok with it) ever since he entered hospital and nursing home on April 3, 2013.

Lawyer was recommended by the most estranged niece, who in past has asked uncle for financial help.

Uncle has somewhat substantial estate.

When Lawyer's office was notified that uncle just wanted nephew as DPOA, the nephew was told, "the Lawyer would be mad to hear that and when the Lawyer meets with Uncle , the Lawyer will try to convince uncle to have the two local nieces and local nephew as DPOA's.

I want what is best for uncle and am concerned that Lawyer may be influenced by niece(s), or Lawyer does not one person to have attorney privileges.

Is this common practice to have multiple DPOA's, and to try & convince a client to change his mind?

My dad signed paper and gave his nephew his house and they read not at arms length.

I am his only child and my two children he.loves more than anything.

He has a fifth grade education and cannot read.

His nephew of course moved in there and.pretend he would care for him that has never happened and he know he shouldn't ha e done what he did can he change it basically they took advantage of the fact he can't read.

What can.be done?
