Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

Power of Attorney

I became ill and gave my power of attorney to my ex. Now I will be receiving a large lump sum for a auto accident. I hear my mother is going to get a power of attorney to control my medical, lump sum and child support. Can a relative, neighbor or state employee get a power of attorney after I have already assigned it? I do not want my mother a her drinking buddies contolling my life.

Re: Power of Attorney

FLORIDA LAW - For someone to give Power of Attorney for anything, that person must voluntarily, freely and without coercion sign the Power of Attorney because there is a lot of Power with the Power of Attorney. If you have signed a POA then you have the right to cancel that POA by preparing a document saying that you cancel this POA and give this to the person who you originally gave the POA to. No one can have POA unless you authorize it.
