A POA does not give the agent the right to convert the property to their own use. You should speak to an attorney ASAP because you will most likely need to sue the person who is stealing the parent's assets. You also need to try to prevent further depletion of the parent's assets.

How do you go about finding out if a house which is now empty which once belonged to your cousin who is dead can be claimed by you?

You may need to seek the advice of an attorney. If your cousin's parents are alive they would be the first in line to inherit her/his property. If the parents are deceased then your cousin's siblings would be next in line. If your cousin is not survived by parents or siblings then the next in line of descent becomes more complicated and you may indeed have an interest. In that case you would need to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate.

No. Non-parents must file for guardianship. Generally, the court will not appoint a non-parent to joint custody with a parent.

Therfore, the proposed guardian needs the parents' consent or they need to provide evidence to the court that the parents are unfit.
