If you had power of attorney and it was revoked and another POA is abusing the privileges what can be done to insure that person does not get everything once the person dies?
A POA gives one person (the attorney-in-fact) the authority to sign legal documents on the behalf of another (the principal). The fundamental reason for a POA is for the convenience of the principal. There are no personal privileges accorded to the POA unless they are set forth in the instrument that created the POA. If the attorney-in-fact is abusing their authority the abuse should be brought to the attention of the principal so they can revoke the POA. Only the principal can revoke a POA. If the principal is not capable of making the decision to revoke the POA or have become vulnerable to undue influence then you should seek legal advice to discuss your options. Perhaps a guardianship or conservatorship is needed. If someone is appointed guardian, the power of attorney would be extinguished. A POA expires when the principal dies. Therefore the attorney-in-fact has no special status as an heir when the principal dies unless you think they have used undue influence on the principal to draft a will that unjustly favors the attorney-in-fact. Again, you should discuss this situation with an attorney who can review the situation and explain the options.
