You may be able to win in court if you can prove that your brother violated his legal responsibility to act in your best interest.
You will need to prove that a reasonable person would agree that what he did was not in your best interest. If you think you can prove this, get a good lawyer.

You gave him legal authority to act on your behalf and he did so. You have no standing. Good thing you revoked is authority. If you ever do such a thing again, make sure the authority you give is on a very limited basis.

If you authorized him to act on your behalf then there's nothing you can do. You should've casually asked him what he would have done should you have done this beforehand and see what he would've done. If he did the opposite of what he said then you could sue him but without firm evidence there's no way you can win.

You only give someone a general power of attorney if you think you might die or become incapacitated! You shouldn't execute binding legal documents if you don't know what affect they would have. I'm afraid you're probably screwed.

If you granted your brother the legal right to act in your behalf, you can not hold him accountable after the fact, if you disapprove of his actions.

Because you gave him authorization to do what he wanted with your property, so he had full rights to do whatever he wanted by law....you should've done more research before allowing him authorization.

you gave him the power of attorney which gives him all your rights, whenever he made a choice it is the same as you making the choice, power of attorney is a powerful tool that must be closely gaurded

Because you gave him the power to do that. That is the reason. It was wrong for him though.

You gave him to power to do what he did-you can not now say he was wrong. He was legal to do what he did-you gave authority to him.

He is your representative.. you gave him the authorization to be .. you.. and what he chose to do or not do while he had the authorization is your problem.
