My mother in law had a stroke back in 2017, which left her speech and mind a bit jumbled.My brother and sister in laws decided to put a POA in place without telling my husband, as there's 3 siblings. My mother in law always said to us she didn't want either of the 2 dealing with her finances as she didn't trust them. One stays in Scotland and the other in England. He also has his name on her bank account too and a card of his own. He doesn't work, he has mental health issues too and the sister has alcohol issues. Can my husband do a separate POA for his mother or does she have to cancel the one in place already ?We just found out last night his mother is in the hospital through the brothers ex wife, as he blocked us from contacting him. Is there anything we/i can do to protect our mother/in law ? Thankyou in advance.
If your MIL did not want these two children to have control then she should have done a POA years ago to protect herself. Ifvshe did assign the POA she can unassign. Here, it just takes a new POA saying "all other POAs are revoked".
No, the POA is not obliged to notify the siblings of anything.
