How can families identify and address potential power of attorney abuse?
Families can recognize potential power of attorney abuse by monitoring financial discrepancies, changes in living arrangements, or unexplained expenses on behalf of the principal. Addressing these concerns may involve open discussions with all family members and possibly seeking the assistance of an impartial third party, such as a mediator or counselor, to evaluate the situation. Estate planning tools and regular financial statements can help in maintaining transparency and reducing the risk of misuse. If abuse is suspected, consulting with legal or financial professionals may provide guidance on appropriate measures to protect the principal's interests.
