Hello all,
I'm in a bit of a grind here. My mother passed away recently, and my Dad is potentially on the way to Alzheimers, though he can still think for himself for the most part. However, he can be bullied into making bad decisions.
Now, if my brother wanted to gain Lasting Power of Attorney over my Dad's house and finances without my consent, could he do this? Or is it that all siblings have to be consulted legally. I assume from some research online that he could gain PoA for himself.
If this is the case, what could I do? Can I get my father to revoke this? Or grant another PoA to override the first one?
I'm only asking because I personally don't want anyone (yet) to gain PoA from my father, but if it has to happen then I want to be a part of it also so that I can make sure any decisions are in his best interests.
Cheers for any help and sorry for the blunt nature of this thread, but I know there are some good lawyers on this forum!
