Power of Attorney?

Question

I liked the answers I got, but what if he signed a form saying that his moms power of attorney over him and that he can't just call up and change his mind? Can a lawyer just help get his S.S. transfered to another power of attorney like his fiance?

Answer 1

Powers of attorney come in two types, which are revokable and those which are not. It largely depends on how the document was written. If the person executing the POA is fully competent, then the POA should be revokable at his option. Ususally only in cases where the maker is incompetent is a POA completely irrevokable.
That being said, an attorney in fact can be disqualified on a
sufficient showing of malfeasance, or misuse of the clients funds
or other resources. This would constitute a breach of a fiduciary
duty.
Im not clear why a POA is required. Is this person competent to manage his own affairs? If not, the more proper legal arrangement might be a conservatorship.
