Re: Agent use U/DPOA TO TAKE MONEY

It appears you have to bring a suit to compel the holder of the POA to account for his activities as POA. Do you have a copy of the Will or can you get one? If you are a member of the family of the decedent, you might be able to be appointed as the Administrator of the decedent's estate. You may also have a claim against the attorney who made the original Will. I suggest contacting a local attorney familiar with estates to assist you and, possibly, the State Bar Association Ethics Committee. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not to be considered as legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
