Re: Sick father

You have the right, but your father gave her the Power of Attorney. So, you would have to go to court to overturn that, or your father would have to change the POA if he is capable. If he did not grant a the POA, then she had to have obtained it from court, and it was at that time you should have challenged her. If she just started acting for him without a formal POA, then court action is needed to gain the POA if your father is not capable of signing one.
