Re: Power of Atty

You need to see an attorney IMMEDIATELY! Is your powert of attorney currently effective? If it was stated to take effect upon signing then your brother can act in your name in any manner he wants to as long as it is in your best interest and not his. He may not self deal or act for the benefit of anyone other than you. Why did you give him your power of attorney if you are not impaired in any way? See a lawyer ASAP to straighten this out NOW! Good Luck!
