Mickey, if the Power of Attorney now has access to his Dad's finances, that tells me that maybe, just maybe, his Dad is unable to do it himself. Do you know if that is the case?

I assume you are hearing about this money issue from your Uncle. How is his health? Does he have any memory issues? If yes, it could be that he is telling a "story" which is not unusual if he has dementia or Alzheimer.
