Will has been change by POA what can we do

Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
If I understand your post correctly, you are claiming that your mother, who is still alive, gave power of attorney to one of your sisters and that sister sold assets that were supposed to have been distributed to certain people under your mother's Will. If I'm understanding that correctly, then your statement that the power of attorney agent changed your mother's Will appears to be incorrect. Selling an asset that is the subject of a bequest in a living person's Will may be perfectly appropriate if the funds are needed for the person's care during her lifetime, and should not normally be viewed as a change in the person's Will. However, other aspects of your post appear to allege that your sisters are stealing from your mother. If that is the case, you may want to consult an elder law attorney who works with guardianship and conservatorship, especially contested ones. The attorney may be able to help you determine if your mother is being subjected to financial abuse, and if so, what options to protect her you may have.

Does she have a right to sell the home and keep the money from the sale?

Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
While she may have the right to sell the home, the money belongs to your mother (assuming it was your mother's home). How is this question related to Florida. You might need to check with an Arizona Lawyer in regards to the powers granted to your sister.

Does probate apply to this situation and who is responsible?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
The aunt needs to hire an attorney. The home is not a part of the estate, because she owns it. She needs someone to assert her rights. If she had personal property in the home, she can petition for it to be returned. It is not an easy case and it may not be worth pursuing depending on how much the property is worth.
