this is not a simple matter, but I have done matters like this for many years. What you should do to protect this person depends on a couple of things. Before going to court, have you tried talking to the person who gave the power of attorney? do they know what is going on? what has been done to them?

I do not charge any money to meet with most people and go over their situation with them. That way they do not spend money to talk to me, and I am free to take the case or not.

Legal problems can not be solve in an email like this. As to your situation, I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. Why don't you come see me. I will meet with you and go over your situation. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you. I will also give you my best estimate of the cost for attorney's fees.

This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
