They should do the following:
a. Prepare/Arrange for documents from a certified medical practitioner that you have become mentally incompetent
b. They should take documents that show that you are the family member of the other person who wishes to access your account. Your spouse, children, parents and siblings can try that
c. Take both the above documents and visit the bank and explain the situation.
In most cases, the bank will let them take the money from the account which was held by the person who is declared mentally incompetent now.

How do you stop your mentally challenged mother from giving someone else power of attorney even though you already have it?
The answer to your question will vary, depending on the extent of the power that you've been granted, and the capacity of your mother at the time she named you as an agent, as well as the language of the document itself. There are different types -- or "levels" -- granted by a "Power of Attorney" document.Because you've mentioned that your mother is "mentally challenged," it is possible that the POA you hold is no longer valid. If it was granted before she became mentally incompetent (IF she is mentally incompetent), and if the document doesn't declare your responsibilities "in the event of her mental incapacitation," the document is likely void.If your mother is mentally incapacitated, she cannot grant Power of Attorney to anyone, including you. Rather, someone needs to file a petition to be named as her legal guardian.Because there are so many variables, and because laws vary from state to state, you need to consult an attorney in your area. You should be able to meet with an attorney for an initial consultation without any charge to you.

Can your soon to be ex have his attorney obtain records of your email and phone accounts in the State of Virginia without your attorney being notified or your concent?
Not enough information is known to answer properly. Are the phone and ISP accounts in both names or only in yours? Customarily a court order to release the information would have to be issued to the phone and ISP companies in order for them to release the information. In that case a hearing would have had to held and your attorney would have HAD to be notified. If you have an attorney representing you, these questions would best be directed to them.
