Power of Attorney
Can your brother who is power of attorney over your mother have the right to sell her home and pocket the money for himself?

I would believe that depending on state law, that any valuables
should go to whom her living will states. Regaurdless of power of
attorney. An absolutely wrong answer. A living will has nothing to
do with a person's assets. A power of attorney is no longer good
once the person dies. I am assuming the mother is in a nursing home
and the brother has sold the house. This is the only way the sale
would be legal. If this is the case you need to talk to an attorney
immediately. From personal experience he can and will spend all of
the money leaving your mother with nothing. You need to act
immediately to protect your mother. If she has passed away you need
to start probate and have yourself named as executor of the
estate.

William to death, takes the picture of his mother from his

If your mother owes 6,000 dollars on her credit cards and you
have power of attorney you are no obligated to pay for her
expenses. It only means that you handle her money. There are lists
and lists of your responsibilities as an Agent, but you do not have
to use your money to cover her expenses. You should consult a
lawyer and if you haven't been thus far, begin keeping records and
recites of every expense your mother needs. This is integral when
it comes to paying bills. To prove that you are not financially
