Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Power of Attorney for a child

My daughter has a child who at one time was in the custody of a friend who sought Power of Attorney for the child and got it. Now the child is back in my daughter's custody, but the friend still has power of attorney. My daughter was recently widowed and will recieve Social Security for her daughter who is 7. Should she let the friend retain the power of attorney or seek to get it back? Thank you. The friendship is a shaky one.

Re: Power of Attorney for a child

If your daughter has custody of the child, some other person has no need to have a power of attorney for that child. Your daughter needs to revoke the power of atoorney. All that is needed is a statement that the power of attorney is revoked and taht statement must be notarized and given to the friend. I would make sure that social security gets a copy too.
