Q: I had someone too be a POA and and they took a lot of things out of our house but is there anything that I can do. Shor
Shortly after we wrote her POA she took items out of our house and land that did belong to her Our neighbors stated that they saw them taking it items out of the house and putting them in a box moving van. And it was revoked in May I have found out that my car and some property was sold and she was no longer POA. Can anything be done?
A:
If you believe property was stolen, you might start with a police report. The police have resources you cannot match to deal with possible theft and its investigation.
Financial attorneys-in-fact have an obligation to provide a financial accounting, and you, with assistance from legal counsel, should request such an accounting.
Resources you may want to take advantage of in obtaining assistance would be the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging (https://www.jhawkaaa.org), Kansas Legal Services (https://www.kansaslegalservices.org) and its Elder Law Hotline (888-353-5337). As with any potential criminal investigation, the sooner the investigation begins, the more likely it will be successful.
