Does the new POA have the right To withhold funds from my mothers personal bank account? I am trying to take care of my mother and we were always getting petty cash every month from this power of attorney, now she is refusing to do so-Isn’t this a breach of her Duty? What can I do as my mothers advocate? thank you please help
Such legitimate expenses with supporting receipts/statements should facilitate reimbursement as the POA must act in the party's interests as they would do for themselves if capable.
Drawing petty cash may not have enough supporting evidence of actual expenditure thus creating resistance to allow access to funds. Clearly, you need to ascertain the actual reason from the POA, so don't be afraid to ask the question.
