This hospice nurse was my aunt's power of the attorney, and has been for several years. My aunt had just came out of a nursing home and this woman in my opinion took advantage of her and got her to sign over durable and POA to her. Is this right?
How did the POA get done. Where I used to live, It is illegal for any employee in a facility to witness or notarize a POA. I would look into your state laws
Aunt chose her to be POA years ago when aunt was competent. That POA will always be in place until aunt decides to change it. And she can only change it if she is competent.
How was she taken advantage of? I don't see any indication that this is financial exploitation.
Only other option would be to pursue guardianship which can become costly.
I see on your profile that aunt has now passed. Now it is up to executor. POA ends at death.
If your aunt is competent, she can revoke POA. If you believe your aunt was taken advantage of, then you can call APS and report elder financial abuse. What does your aunt say about all of this? Is she competent legally?
