Yes, an elderly person can regain control over their life if a relative is abusing power of attorney by seeking legal help. They can revoke the power of attorney, report the abuse to authorities, and seek protection through legal means such as obtaining a protective order or guardianship. It's important to act swiftly and decisively to protect the elderly person's rights and well-being.
