Legal Question in Elder Law in West Virginia

Power of Attorney
My stepdaughter has power-of-attorney for an elderly
gentleman who is not a blood relative. She wrote
herself a $10,000 ''gift check'' on his account.( We told
her to void the check or if she had already cashed it, to
redeposit the money immediately!!) What could befall
her legally for this breach of trust?

Re: Power of Attorney

This breach of fiduciary duty could result in a theft charge if the money was not used for the benefit of the ward.
