A:
I'm sorry you're feeling worried about your situation. Having power of attorney means you're entrusted to act on your daughter's behalf, especially with financial matters like stimulus payments.
As long as you've been acting in her best interest and following the proper procedures, there shouldn't be any immediate issues. It's important to keep thorough records of all transactions and communications related to her finances.
If you're unsure about any actions you've taken or need further guidance, reaching out to a legal advisor can provide clarity and peace of mind. Taking these steps can help ensure everything is handled correctly and protect both you and your daughter.
