can i revoke an enduring power of attorney that was made using online forms
and signed by a justice of the peace who worked at the hospital when I was really worried about gettings Dads bills paid and new little about the whole business.
The forms were downloaded and witnessed also by a social worker at the hospital another nurse and my cousin. Dad is coming home next Tuesday after being in hospital for 8weeks. Having read some things about financial and health
enduring power of attorney since this EPOA was done I now wish I could go and have it done properly with a solicitor, I rang the public trustee but she said they
wouldnt handle the revoking of a EPOA drawn up this way.
She did suggest I hand Dad a letter revoking it and keep a copy.

Is there a way to revoke this EPOA and get a new Solicitor, one done.
I was really worried about Dads bills at the time and trusted the social worker and
Hospital JP to know how it all worked. The ironical thing is I got a shock when I got to the bank and they wouldnt accept it or pay Dads bills anyway. Until
too late for the due date,so my brother in Brisbane had to send up the money
to pay before the due date. Finally after much worry the bank finally granted
their own POA and I just paid all the bills and reimbursed my brother a couple of days ago.
Ironically the Online forms We did at the hospital Administratorere of no use in getting the bills paid on time but now I feel under duress I did this, but now would like to undo it start again and get the papers drawn up legally.
would a silicitor be willing to do this. And if I hand Dad a letter revoking the online EPOA will it be accepted as null and void without a lot of legal obstacles.

No point in getting it revoked if no one will accept it. It sounds like there is something faulty with the form. Just get a solicitor to do a new one, and bring it to the house for him to sign.

My mother was living in North Carolina and was brought back to live in Virginia with me and my sister because my father became unable to care for her. She has dementia. My sister and I are listed as her durable power of attorney. Unfortunately I have a brother who is challenging me with transporting my mother back and forth to NC to see our father. Her dementia and heart condition is making it a very bad experience for her. I do not feel it is best to see him in that condition as well as the highway driving since she has an anxiety disorder and does not do well on highways and fast speeds. Can he force my hand? Am I required to give him access to her? He also has taken money from them over the past and had her cosign for a loan. He recently took money out of their account for his personal use although he fibbed and said it was for another reason. His goal is to put my mother in a state facility and take over the house and their remaining assets. This isn't possible based on their asset size but this is his goal. Basically he has no regard for my mother and I'm afraid he will put her in a precarious position because she is unaware of his manipulating disposition. Can I keep him away from her legally? Right now I'm just avoiding his calls.
