The question is very unclear. I am going to guess that you hold a power of attorney from your spouse, whose mental condition is altered. The spouse's children are concerned that you are looting the property of your spouse and converting their inheritance into your own property. On those facts, they certainly can have your power of attorney revoked, have themselves appointed as guardians of your spouse, and sue you to make you explain what you have done with every penny of the spouse's money that you took up under the power of attorney. If it appears that you took the spouse's separate property (i.e., not marital property) and you cannot show that you spent the money on the care of the spouse, then expect to spend time in prison. Florida protects its senior citizens with as much vigor as a bear protecting its young.

No. They must petition the Probate Court to extinguish the POA and provide compelling evidence. A guardianship would extinguish a POA.
