A: In California, having power of attorney does not usually grant the agent the authority to ban family members from visiting an elderly and bedridden relative living in a mother-in-law suite on another family member's property. Family members generally have the right to visit and maintain relationships with their loved ones, unless there are specific legal circumstances or court orders in place. Consulting with an attorney who specializes in elder law or family law can provide guidance on addressing visitation concerns and ensuring your grandmother's best interests are considered while respecting your rights as family members.
