Re: deed of gift
A person can sign a deed and is presumed competent to do so. The legal presumption is that the document is valid. The fact that someone else had poa is irrelevant. If you challenge their competency, then you should hire an attorney and fight it out in court, where a judge or jury would establish that. This is sometimes extremely difficult to prove.
