Re: power of attorney

You will need to hire an attorney in the county where all of this occurred in order to get some resolution. I believe that, based upon what you have described, you can make a good case for breach of fiduciary duty, over-reaching, self-aggrandizement etc. Go to www.naela.org and there is a "Find a Lawyer" section there. Type in the zip or the county name and contact any of the people who pop up. All should be familiar with this sort of cause of action.
