Re: fraud law
No. Not unless that person already has a power of attorney. The law is a bit difficult in this situation if there is no advance power of attorney. The relative would need to begin a guardianship proceeding in court to be appointed guardian with power to make those payments etc.
Another way to handle this problem in advance is for people to create and put their property in trust with themselves as trustees but with trusted people specified as alternative trustees if the person writing the trust is incapacitated.
