Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a written authorization giving one person the legal authority to act for another person, typically regarding financial affairs like bank accounts and investments. In the hands of someone trustworthy, a power of attorney can be an important tool to manage someone else's financial affairs. But, in the hands of a financial predator or a greedy family member, a power of attorney can be used to secretly steal money and assets, readily bypassing the normal safeguards that are employed by financial institutions.
If you or a loved one is the victim of fraud or financial abuse involving an unauthorized use of a power of attorney, it's important to act quickly. Usually, the best course of action is to contact an attorney who practices in the geographical area where the power of attorney was misused.
