Power of Attorney
What recourse do I have regarding my daughter's power of attorney abuse?
My daughter obtained a Durble Power of Attorney for my husband (her father) in May 2010, after he had been diagnosed with Alzheimers Dementia in June 2009. He's been on medication and under medical care since that time with progressive deterioration of mental capability. She was fully aware of his diagnosis, treatment and decreasing mental abilities. I, his wife, have been his contintuing caretaker. She has used her status of Power of Attorney to take over ALL of his life decisions (medical and financial), including the taking of ALL his money and putting it in an account, the whereabouts I do not know and has refused me knowledge of where it is nor do I have access to it. All this was done with my husband's consent but I'm not sure he recognizes the significance of these events now or then. I'm just beginning to explore my rights as the situation has become citical and the family is in chaos.What recourse do I have?
