Re: Power of attorney
If your grandmother still has her mental faculties, she might be persuaded to withdraw the POA once she's been informed of these alleged abuses.
However, if she no longer possesses such mental faculties, a family member(most likely one of the other siblings) could file for a conservatorship to take over all of your grandmother's financial affairs with a simultaneous request to the court to abrogate the POA that was apparently ill-advisedly given to your aunt.
