Our attorney allowed my FIL to change his POA after a dementia diagnosis. What are the legal ramifications of this?

2 years ago under the manipulation of my sister in law. What are the legal ramifications of this from the sister in law and the attorney's point of view? The attorney knew about the dementia diagnosis and had emailed the sister in law a copy of the POA the day before. We were attempting to gain visibility into his finances to put him in a home, but she is accusing us of trying to take his money.

Sorry - I missed the "our attorney". Does this attorney represent you? Who paid his retainer and/or fees?

How is it that you know for a fact the attorney was aware of the dementia diagnosis? Were you in contact with him/her? And how were you aware of the e-mail?

The first thing you'll need to consider is documented proof that the attorney knew of a dementia diagnosis and acted inappropriately.

Who is his caregiver? If you are, and poa was changed, I'd wish the new poa good luck with her caregiving responsibility. And walk away.
