This is complicated but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has any words of advice or paths to follow for my family. My great Aunt was recently diagnosed with cancer and has spent the last couple months in the hospital. My Aunt, who you can't even explain in words, goes to the hospital with a lawyer so my great Aunt will sign the power of attourney over to her and also all of the things in her house. Prior to that, the power of attourney belonged to my great aunt's sister, and everything was to be split between all my Great Aunt's neices and nephews. This isn't an issue of those neices and nephews (one being my dad) getting money and belongings, it's an issue that my aunt would stoop that low, and is now pushing my GreatAunt to death by saying, your not going to make it much longer and there's nothing more to look forward to. My dad is thinking about hiring a lawyer because of the state my great aunt was in when she signed over the power of attourney. Does he have any chance?

Contact an attorney IMMEDIATELY! First, it sounds like there had been a POA previsouly and that has to be revoked before a new one can be done. Sounds like some issues here and this is one of those few times I would urge you and your Father to get legal assistance ASAP!

He may have a chance. He should indeed hire an attorney. The physician and nurses will have to give statements as to the competency of your Great Aunt. She may have been competent, but again she may not have been.
