Default Elder Abuse/Power of Attorney

a sibling who was given power of attorney by mother, now deceased. elderly
father now living with my sibling. her husband is an abusive alcoholic and i
fear for my 86 year old father. can i sue and get power of attorney and make
sure my father is well cared for. he owns new home and land that could be
sold to pay for his care. sibling will not even consider this and i think
my dad\'s best interests are not being considered. i am afraid my sibling
is holding on to his property waiting for his demise. he is not in the best
health and this is not a good environment for a frail 86 year old. what
action could i take to make sure my father is out of this situation and his
assets that he worked so hard for are utilized for his care. please help
me. God Bless. D.R.

Default Re: Elder Abuse/Power of Attorney

You can have a court void it yes if you can show and prove reasonable concern or reason that the person should not have that power at this point.

Gather up whatever proof you have...as you may need to show it.
